The Character of Cyrano De Bergerac :: Cyrano Bergerac

The Character of Cyrano De Bergerac   A man who knows perpetuallyy thing, has never closing curtain wit and charm, and has a way with speech like none other, provided is still to horrid to convey his true feelings to a beautiful woman. This poor but provided amazing man is Cyrano from the play Cyrano De Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. This man has more intellect than sand in a desert and is the most courageous Gascon of all. unless he has one tragic physical flaw. He has an enormous nose, of which he is very self conscious about and only he can disgorge about it. If any one else has anything to say about it the better say something very witty or there done for. All of this is portrayed in one of Cyranos speeches on page 40-41. The speech reveals how clever and smart he is when he says things like what a sign for a perfume shop (41) and Is that a conch, and are you Triton rising from the sea?(41).   Cyrano reveals a lot about himself in his speech like how int elligent he is to use such defective intellectual words off the top of his head. Cyrano uses phrases like The end of it must get wet when you drink from a cup. Why dont you use a tankard?(40) And words like Grandiloquent to show off his wit. Most people in that age werent educated as well as Cyrano was and that showed a lot when he spoke. Not many people in the room knew that grandiloquent meant pretentious or non straight forward. Aristophanes was also another word that no one ever used or knew what it meant.   Cyrano also revealed that he had no patience for people that made fun of, or picked on those that were less fortunate. Cyrano thought as himself as less fortunate to have a nose like his. So when people made fun of it he got very angry but yet he never lost his cool. So Cyrano would just take care of business with the bully in a entertaining manner and then be on his way.   In his speech he showed his willingness to fight and his aptitude to make peopl e mad at him.
