Cyrano de Bergerac is the personification of passion of a higher plane. Whether its dueling, reciting poetry or just being irritated by comments on his nose. He does it with open and unrelentless passion. It takes a different twist when it came to Roxanne. His passion develops from leaps to bound yet unprecedentedly kept in silence. Cyrano understands his 'short'comings, he realises the presence of Christian in Roxanne's life yet it battles within him whether to be the swashbuckling Cyrano or one bearing the unrequited love for the lady who set sail a thousand ships. In this sense, Cyrano has everything yet without Roxanne, nothing. This secret admiration kept and nurtured for decades would only be reveiled under such tragic circumstances. Everyone has a bit of Cyrano in him but only a few would have such passion for a lady in the same manner Cyrano has for Roxanne. Alas combustible equine.

this was my great- grandpa's favorite. it is a fun story about a man who is so ashamed of his big nose he will not persue his true love, he finds a rather entertaining solution, and of corse it ends happily.

Awesome play with plenty of charm in almost all versions turned to the screen. I actually read this before watching the performance by José Ferrer from the 1950 version. The read is awesome and not too long, I recommend it.

The movie Roxanne helped me understand this book but the ideas all came from the original play. Amazing the long rants and sarcasm and the idea of loving someone and being scared to show your true feelings.

This French play makes me cry each time I re-read it. The hero in this book is so courageous and you can't help but fall in love with him despite his horrific outward appearance. I love the way Rostand approaches beauty and inner beauty. Cyrano has such a beautiful soul and his rambling prose is funny, poetic and sometimes heartbreaking. I've read this play about five times and loved it each time. A funny, heartwarming story for anyone!

I found Cyrano to be annoyingly arrogant and pigheaded. While I enjoy the premise of the story, I found it hard to relate to the characters. Maybe its just that I'm not a 19th century French person and I'm missing something culturally?

The best translation ends with the word "panache" - NOT 'plume!"
