Answer 1

it is one of my favorite books of all time. it balances truth, comedy, romance, and drama all at once. my favorite part would have to be when he helps his friend with words to say when he is proclaiming his love for her in the garden and she is in the balcony. great story, genius.

Answer 2

"Cyrano de Bergerac" is, in my opinion, one of the best plays ever written. There are funnier comedies, more moving tragedies, and plays with more sustained action sequences, but..."Cyrano" is the greatest ROMANCE ever written.

It has it all: an eloquent and compelling central character, action, poetry, love (requited and unrequited), and a final scene that is all but guaranteed to draw tears from all but the most hardened audience member.

I had the great good fortune to appear in a production of the play about 10 years ago; I played Le Bret, the captain of the Gascogny Cadets. It was a glorious experience, and it made me VERY hungry to one day have the opportunity to play Cyrano himself.

Answer 3

There is a musical version of the play, 1972 starring Christopher Plummer which is not as good as the original play, especially, I think, the Brian Hooker translation, even though the Anthony Burgess is more contemporary.

There is a line from the musical however which I like, when Cyrano's friend Lebre tells him to "stop trying to be Don Christ Quixote and the three musketeers rolled into one." And when Deguiche (his enemy) asks if he's read Don Quixote, He replies "Read it! I've practically lived it!"

He has wit, romance, guile, and a huge heart to match the nose. But he is alone. ("I stand not tall it may be, but alone!" " I do not join retinues." And perhaps best of all a wry, dry knowledge of self; When forced to hear Roxanne tell about the young Christian whom she loves, and not letting on that he loves her himself, she remarks about his battle at the Port-du-Denesle the night before, "A hundred men against one, you must have been very brave." He quietly replies, "Oh, I have done better since."

What I have always loved about Cyrano is not only his grand uncompromising self image, and his language, but his self awareness. He embodies all peoples ideas about themselves, that we're less than we aspire to, (""bring me Giants!") and not as vile as we think. ( "That young serving wench did not turn away.")

He gives us hope that we may be judged by our soul alone, and that self sacrifice and honour are worthy unto themselves. Finally he gives us hope that even death will be an adventure, and that what we carry with us into whatever afterlife we may go to, that which is most important.

You take everything,
The rose and the laurel.
Well take them and welcome!
But there is one thing I shall carry with me
When I enter before God
Sweeping the stars with my bright salute.
One thing unstained by death,
Unsullied by the ash
Of the ultimate destruction:
See it there,
My panache!

Answer 4

There was a serious flaw in this play. Cryano loved a woman BECAUSE of her physical beauty (he didn't KNOW her well enough to love her for any other reasons), and he shunned a plain woman who loved him; yet he felt victimized by his own physical short-comings (or LONG comings...ha!). Neither Cryano, nor the audience seemed to recognize that HE was doing the same thing he detested in others. That being said; I laughed, I cried, I loved it! We are human, we expect OTHERS to be more perfect than ourselves.

Answer 5

OMG!!! Your grammar is horrible. However my favorite part is "I sir, if that nose were mine I would have it amputated on the spot!"
