Serrano de Bergerac
Book •
Cyrano de Bergerac is a play that tells the story of Cyrano, a gifted poet and swordsman with an unusually large nose, which makes him insecure and prevents him from expressing his love for his cousin, Roxane.
Instead, he helps the handsome but inarticulate Christian woo Roxane by writing love letters on Christian's behalf, expressing his own deep feelings through another man's words.
Roxane falls in love with Christian's words and Christian's appearance, unaware of Cyrano's role.
The play explores themes of inner beauty, self-sacrifice, and the power of language, as Cyrano remains true to his principles and his love for Roxane, even at his own expense.
His unrequited love and noble actions make him a tragic hero who embodies both wit and honor.
