cyrano de bergerac


     In my opinion, Cyrano De Bergerac is a man of great passion, wit, and zest. This play was interesting to read, as well as tiresome. The characters were hard for me to relate to, even though they were generally well developed. The love triangle between Roxanne, Christian and Cyrano is agonizing. Cyrano is such a great man and deserves so much, especially to be happy. Besides Cyrano’s nose, he seems to be the perfect man. But at times he also seems very cynical about life and everything that comes with it. He is tough and manly, and a good fighter, but a tortured artist as well. The object of Cyrano’s affections, Roxane, is so confused about everything until right at the very end, when it is too late to do anything about it. I enjoyed this play, it was depressing and uplifting all at the same time.
