What a man with high intellectual. What a man with pride. What a man with bravery and courage. But does that man have a down fall? Maybe something he would like to cover up, but can’t, and everybody notices it. It’s the nose, isn’t it? That man would be Cyrano. Cyrano is the star in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, which takes place in the year 1640. Throughout most of Act 1, it is hard decision to think about the mystery man Cyrano will turn out to be. From the first four scenes of Act 1, that’s when Cyrano starts to reveal himself and have enemies, yet cousins.
As the audience sets around the fake stage waiting for the play to begin, which Cyrano is involved in, they hear poetry and what’s beyond that. Cyrano’ friend describes him as “most delightful man under the sun.” A new character is opened up to be Christian, Who is going to be part of the guards someday. He asks whom this Cyrano is and is expecting someone gracious and indulging. But Christian starts to look at beautiful women, names roxane, who is in the box watching and waiting for the play. As Cyrano comes out for his performance, Christian builds up some jealousy, even though he is gorgeous himself. A very important and turning part of Act 1, was when Cyrano truly revealed who he was when Montfeury and him where going through dodges from sword fights and whatnot and Cyrano is reciting poems instead of chanted the whole way through it.
Although Cyrano ends up killing Montfeury in there play, he basically blots out that Montfeury is a horrible actor other people could play his part much better. Cyrano isn’t afraid to tell his real emotions and especially since he has other inside reason why Montfeury isn’t worth it. He enjoys having a lot of enemies because that’s what keeps him together and able to show his perfect abilities.
Throughout the story I have realized that it is a very hard story for my understanding, and this information has been what I pulled out from it. But, once I received the new book of Cyrano de Bergerac, from the Penguin Classics, it shows words that younger people are able to understand. From the original copy, it seems that Cyrano is the best guy and he has done a lot, but from the newest copy, Cyrano seems kind of too much into himself, and that there might be other important characters.
In conclusion, both copies of the books are interesting because it shows too different sides of feelings that are anyone would believe are true. It would be better if everyone read both copies to pick why it is true, but if not; the best copy is the newest one because it doesn’t relates to just one character.
