“Read this play for the definition of "panache." Just wonderful.”
“This is one of my favorite plays of all time that i have read in school. it shows true personality and the meaning that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Cyrano who is in love with his cousin Roxane is conflicted with the fact that she does not love him back. He also is conflicted with himself because he hates the way he looks. Cyrano throughout his life has been made fun of constantly because of his looks and because of his big protuberance on his face(his nose).Throughout the book Cyrano realizes that looks is not what a true relationship is based off of. This play was a very well written play and as amazing examples of dramatic irony. I really enjoyed it.”
“This is a timeless book about love and acceptance of true identity.”
“I read this book for a class and truly loved it. It is a true description of life that never changes most people really judge strictly on appearance it is very sad.”
“CYRANO :Certes, ce sentimentQui m’envahit, terrible et jaloux, c’est vraimentDe l’amour, il en a toute la fureur triste !De l’amour, -et pourtant il n’est pas égoïste !Ah ! que pour ton bonheur je donnerais le mien,Quand même tu devrais n’en savoir jamais rien,S’il ne pouvait, parfois, que de loin, j’entendisseRire un peu le bonheur né de mon sacrifice !– Chaque regard de toi suscite une vertuNouvelle, une vaillance en moi ! Commences-tuÀ comprendre, à présent ? voyons, te rends-tu compte ?Sens-tu mon âme, un peu, dans cette ombre, qui monte ? ...Oh ! mais vraiment, ce soir, c’est trop beau, c’est trop doux !Je vous dis tout cela, vous m’écoutez, moi, vous !C’est trop ! Dans mon espoir même le moins modeste,Je n’ai jamais espéré tant ! Il ne me resteQu’à mourir maintenant ! C’est à cause des motsQue je dis qu’elle tremble entre les bleus rameaux !Car vous tremblez ! car j’ai senti, que tu le veuillesOu non, le tremblement adoré de ta mainDescendre tout le long des branches du jasmin ! ROXANE :Oui, je tremble, et je pleure, et je t’aime, et suis tienne !Et tu m’as enivrée !”
