Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) | comment |
This 1897 play by French author Edmond Rostand is famous enough that its plot has become a trope in its own right!Hercule-Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac — the legendary poet, duelist, soldier, philosopher, physicist, musician, playwright, and novelist — has a problem. He has an enormous nose, which he believes makes him so incredibly ugly that he thinks no woman could ever love him, and fears his love for his cousin Roxane will never be reciprocated. Just when he's mustered the courage to hand her the love letter he's written, she announces that she's in love with the beautiful Christian, and asks Cyrano to protect him against danger. Roxane has fallen in love with Christian at first sight and tells Cyrano that if Christian isn't intellectual enough for her, she would be so disappointed that she could die. Cyrano resolves to subdue his love for her and tell Christian about Roxane’s love. Christian despairs, because he also loves Roxane, and even though he is very handsome, he's inarticulate, and believes Roxane would never accept him. So, Cyrano, trying to express his love and to not disappoint Roxane, eagerly offers to script Christian's courtship, beginning by giving him Cyrano's own love letter for Roxane. Naturally, hilarity (and swashbuckling, and eventually tragedy) ensues.Is there a moral? Well, "don't let vanity hold you back," and "Love at First Sight is ridiculous." The play also introduced the term panache into the English language. Literally it means "plume", feathers worn in hats and helmets, but it has come to signify confidence and flamboyance such as demonstrated by Cyrano in the play. Critics thus consider the play notable for being both a cruel satire and straight celebration of the tropes and themes most associated with the The Cavalier Years.The two most respected English translations are Brian Hooker's from 1923 and Anthony Burgess' from 1971. Hooker's version is a translation that doesn't change a line of Rostand's original text except for replacing now-archaic references with references an American audience would be more likely to recognize. While Rostand's French script rhymed, Hooker's English script doesn't, except for things that rhymed in-story such as Cyrano's improvised ballad during his duel with Valvert. Burgess' version is more of a "modern adaptation" in which he claimed he tried to recapture some of Rostand's comedy that he felt was lost in Hooker's translation. It also makes some minor plot changes, combining Cyrano's captain and Cyrano's best friend into one character and replacing Roxane's appearance in person in Act IV with a letter from her. Burgess' version, like the French original, rhymes.The play is Very Loosely Based on a True Story— there really was a French playwright, duelist, and ghost writer of love letters named Cyrano de Bergerac, and the main characters in the play (Roxane, Christian, Le Bret, De Guiche) also existed. This play is as well researched as a Roman à Clef, because Rostand was an academic that researched France's literary environment in the 17th century, so all the incidental writers, poets, actors, period pieces, places and battles really existed at that time.The most acclaimed French stage performances have included the likes of Daniel Sorano, Jacques Weber and Jean-Paul Belmondo. There are two notable film adaptations: one from 1950 in English (using the Hooker translation) which garnered a Best Actor for José Ferrer, and the rapturously-acclaimed 1990 French version directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau and starring Gérard Depardieu (with the Burgess translation later used for subtitles); the latter is notable for being one of a small percentage of films to achieve a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In addition, the 1987 movie Roxanne, starring Steve Martin, is a modernized take on the story; while not as acclaimed as the 1990 film, it's also considered highly worth watching. The Disney Channel original movie Let it Shine is also clearly based off of this play, even going as far as to giving the main characters similar names (Cyrano= Cyrus; Christian= Chris; Roxanne= Roxy, whose full name is actually Roxanne). (You can probably skip this one.)For the various other adaptations of the play, see here. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_2937826d | comment |
Hurricane of Puns: The hurricane of nose puns that Christian applies to Cyrano's tale is all but funny because all the cadets anticipate Cyrano's response in silent horror. Cyrano usually doesn't tolerate ANYBODY mentioning noses around him, and only his promise to Roxane to protect Christian from the rest of the soldiers' attempts at hazing the new recruits keeps him from starting a fight. | |

Analogy Backfire: Cyrano compares himself to Caesar and Titus to justify why he cannot win Roxane’s love. Caesar and Titus were loved not because they were fair but because they were highly charismatic leaders, like Cyrano himself, as Le Bret points out. De Guiche likens Cyrano to Don Quixote, causing Cyrano to point out that that puts De Guiche in the role of the windmill. | |

Hidden Depths | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Roxane the refined intellectual surprises her three suitors by proving quite the adventuress, sneaking behind enemy lines to deliver food to the French soldiers and then staying with them once the battle starts. Christian gets written off by many who haven't read the play as a male bimbo. While he's not as book smart as Cyrano or Roxane and is utterly hopeless at talking to women, he's witty enough to think of several nose-related puns on the fly when he first meets Cyrano. Given Ragueneau’s status as the Butt-Monkey in Act II, he could be considered a mere Plucky Comic Relief character. Then we have Act IV where Raguenau risks his life to smuggle food to the Gascon Cadets in the siege of Arras. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: By the end of the play, both Cyrano and Christian are dead, Christian killed in battle and Cyrano mortally wounded on a day he was supposed to visit Roxane while she was in "eternal mourning." During his last moments, however, Roxane confesses her love for Cyrano after realizing he was the author of Christian's letters, and Cyrano dies with the satisfaction of knowing he was good enough for Roxane after all. | |

Balcony Wooing Scene | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_444fdea2 | comment |
Balcony Wooing Scene: An iconic and often-parodied example of the trope is the scene when Christian reads romantic lines from the garden to his love interest Roxanne who is up on the balcony, while Cyrano hides and feeds him lines. Eventually, Cyrano takes over and starts wooing Roxanne directly, while pretending to be Christian. | |

Broken Ace: Cyrano, Renaissance man, legendary poet, duelist, soldier, philosopher, physicist, musician, playwright, novelist and excellent actor, who also is an ugly, writhing pile of Freudian Excuse, who systematically throws away every chance of success he has, would rather help some other guy get the girl he loves than confess to her, and assiduously kills anyone who mocks his enormous nose. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: This play is a blend of farce and drama, and his first act is placed at the Burgundy Theater. Cyrano has interrupted the Show Within a Show La Clorise. The rest of the theater actors are rehearsing a new play, and Cyrano invites them to look at a Sword Fight he will have with one hundred men. It Makes Sense in Context, but it still feels as though Cyrano is talking about his own play. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Acte V is explicitly set in 1655, yet it mentions Molière's The Schemes of Scapin, which was created much later (the premiere was in 1671). In the play, the Porte de Nesles fight happens during the events of the 1640 segment (during the hiatus between Act I and Act II). In real life, it happened in 1641 after Cyrano left the army (in the play, it would correspond to the hiatus between Act IV and Act V). Christian de Neuvillette existed, but his real name was Christophe de Neuvillette. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_573e6dbd | comment |
Crack is Cheaper: This attitude is shown In-Universe (and deconstructed) by the baker Ragueneau in this play. His wife Lise remembers a time when he was a normal person, a Supreme Chef with a successful bakery. But over time, he gets infatuated with the poets and his lifestyle. In the first Act, he pays theater's tickets with pies. By the second Act, he accepts poems in return for his food, he pays too much money to an assistant for baking a pie with the form of a lyre and cannot renounce to even one of his precious poems. He will be completely ruined in the beginning of the third Act, abandoned by his neglected wife Lise and he will attempt an Interrupted Suicide. | |

When She Smiles: Joked as the reason Roxane made it past enemy lines. In the Depardieu film this doesn't quite work, so Christian is given a scene where he and other cadets rescue her and Ragueneau from the Spanish. | |

Arc Words | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: Panache. Hooker translated it as "white plume", while decades later Burgess kept it as panache. Both approaches have their merits: while keeping panache untranslated makes the symbolic meaning immediately clear (and students would probably have an easier time with "What does the white plume symbolize" essays), in the context of the play Cyrano is talking about an actual decoration that is used to symbolize something, not just the concept or quality of panache, akin to how an ancient Roman might talk about "laurels". | |

Kidnapped by the Call: De Guiche really, really didn't want to risk his life fighting the best part of the Spanish garrison ( along with the Cadets, to boot ). However, since Roxanne won't leave the frontline, his gentlemanly instincts force him to stay and defend her. Roxanne, who assumed him to be a Dirty Coward and told him so to his face, is quite surprised. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_873f9d1e | comment |
Historical Ugliness Update: Look at this contemporary portrait at the other Wiki. Portraits of Cyrano suggest that he did have a big nose, true, though not nearly as large to justify to an audience all the fuss Cyrano makes about it. So, this Historical Domain Character must look much worse in theater/movies than he actually did in real life for the play to make sense. Just compare the portrait with those images of Cyrano’s depiction in theater and movies. | |

The fact that he retains a measure of his characteristic "panache" despite the situation reveals just how deep his moxie goes. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: Barons: All the Gascon Cadets are Barons that indulge in killing anyone who is not Of the People trying to join them, and their ideal is to be a Sociopathic Hero. Count: De Guiche is a Jerkass who wants to bully Roxane into being The Mistress, prepares an Uriah Gambit and a Last Stand for all the guys who had humiliated him. Duke: After his Heel–Face Turn, Count De Guiche is named Duke De Grammont, and he claims to have not committed any villainy (but then, he could be lying or having Self-Serving Memory).

Exposition Party | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_962fd8e5 | comment |
Exposition Party: Act I Scene II. Before La Clorise begins, all the important characters are in the theater. Some of them are presented to the Naïve Newcomer Christian, and Mr. Exposition Ligniere talks about the relationship between Roxane, De Guiche and Valvert. The protagonist himself is absent, so everyone talks about him... because he promised to ruin the play they intend to attend. | |

Homosocial Heterosexuality: The play is more about Cyrano and Christian than it is about poor Roxanne. They come to care far more genuinely for each other than either do for her. Practically Cyrano's last words to her are to beg that she keep on loving Christian's memory and grieving for him. When you take into account the historical Cyrano was pretty open about his bisexuality, and that his favorite joke was that as he was ashamed of it he had to hide behind another man… | |

Then the Duenna interrupts Cyrano and Roxane telling him she has eaten all the pies Cyrano give them. He comically sends her to read poems and closes the door in her face. The last four acts of this play have funny things and tragic things happening one after the other. | |

Love at First Sight: Deconstructed, as Roxane tells Cyrano she fell in love with Christian this way, and his response amounts to, "Are you nuts?! You don't even know a single thing about the guy, and you're in love with him?!" (When he meets Christian, however, he admits he can't blame her, as he is good-looking, and proves to be as brave as the stories about him say, Cyrano also notes the boy is not without wit). Roxane later apologizes to Christian, saying it was wrong of her to fall for him purely for his appearance and that she's learned to love him for his soul (right lesson, wrong guy!). | |

Take That! | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Cyrano and his troops are enemies of musketeers, who are presented as lecherous thugs whose courage doesn't match their boastfulness and who don’t pay their theatre tickets. Something of this can also possibly be seen toward the famous playwright Molière (in part because, as mentioned in the play, his play Scapin was plagiarized from Cyrano). Roxane is one of the Précieuses ridiculed by Molière but is a fairly level-headed, sympathetic character. Ragueneau kind of fits the model of Molière's cuckolded characters and idolizes him, but when he finally gets a job with him, realizes his idol is an example of Nice Character, Mean Actor. Fictional Cyrano accuses Sercy, (the historical editor of the historical Cyrano’s books) of practicing Vanity Publishing, implying that the historical Cyrano indulged in this practice. | |

Run or Die: Montfleury makes his choice in Act I Scene IV after Cyrano claps a third time: he runs for his life. Later, The Bore also makes his choice, after Cyrano literally kicks his ass. It was the correct choice for both of them. | |

Wrong Insult Offence | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_b84491a3 | comment |
Wrong Insult Offence: Cyrano had a very large nose, which a bit character insulted by calling it "rather large." Cyrano's reaction was to tell him that "rather large" was an absolutely pathetic excuse for an insult and go on to tell him various better ways to insult him. | |

Berserk Button: The cadets warn their new recruit Christian not to mention the word "nose" around Cyrano if he values his life. Christian decides to show off by doing it anyway, pushing Cyrano nearly to strangle him. Some actors portraying Cyrano show him growing more visibly annoyed at Christian's interruptions and play up the comedy of his attempting to compose himself. But before this scene, he roasted then wounded de Valvert in a duel for saying "You have a big nose." | |

Hope Spot: Cyrano has two in his hope for winning Roxane’s love. His first Hope Spot lasts a night (between Acts I and II) until he hears Roxane describe the guy she loves as "fair," and the other lasts only mere seconds, right before he hears that Christian has been mortally wounded. | |

Compliment Backfire: Cyrano tricks the poor Bore to invoke this trope (so he can literally kick the Bore's ass). A much more dramatic example happens later, when Roxane tells Christian she loves him more for his soul than his good looks, and that she would still love him if he was ugly. Christian, who is the good looks of his joint character with Cyrano, doesn't take it well and tries to convince Cyrano to reveal the truth instead of letting her live a lie. | |

Shout-Out | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: After Cyrano fights a duel while improvising a poem early in the play, d'Artagnan (also a Gascon) shows up briefly to tell him how cool it was. In real life they were contemporaries — it would be surprising if Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655) and d'Artagnan (1615-1673) had not run into each other quite a bit. In Act I Scene VII: Theophrast Reunadet (talented creator of the first newspaper, famous philanthropist who died in poverty) shows up briefly only to be dismissed by Cyrano ("Who cares?"). Renaudet was homely, and this affected him throughout his life (the real Cyrano seemed not so affected by this). Also to Titus and Berenice and Caesar and Cleopatra, two of the most famous romances in history, The Adventures of Pinocchio, and Don Quixote. In Act III Scene XIII, the rambling of Cyrano pretending he just fell from the Moon to distract De Guiche are a direct reference to The Other World: Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon, a proto sci-fi novel written by the historical Cyrano. | |

"Roxane" is an Iranian Name (Roshanak) that means "Little Star" and was the name of princess Roxane, who married Alexander the Great. "Roxane was said by contemporaries to be the most beautiful lady in all Asia". Truth in Television, because the Real Life Madeleine Robin chose this name. | |

Conspicuous Consumption: Cyrano combines it with A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted, as he confides to Le Bret that the bag of crowns he used to pay the entrance fees of the Burgundy Theater was his parental bounty, and so he has not money for the rest of the month. Even when Le Bret scolds Cyrano for his folly, Cyrano calls this "a graceful act". This conduct explains better than anything why Cyrano is condemned to a life of Perpetual Poverty. | |

Brainless Beauty | |
Cyrano de Bergerac (Theatre) / int_f26d5e66 | comment |
Brainless Beauty: Christian, in his own eyes at least. In truth, he is far from stupid, as he improvises some wonderfully witty insults regarding Cyrano's nose when they are first introduced. He's just hopeless when it comes to talking to women. Roxane also (ironically) lampshades this trope in Act III Scene I, saying people usually don't believe someone can be both beautiful and smart. | |

Giftedly Bad: Montfleury thinks he is a dramatic actor capable of romancing the ladies. Everyone else (except maybe his protector the Duke of Candale) disagrees. | |
