Summary "Cyrano de Bergerac: Viisinäytöksinen runomittainen sankarinäytelmä" by Edmond Rostand is a poetic drama written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Cyrano de Bergerac, a skilled fighter and poet with an exceptionally large nose, who struggles with unrequited love and his insecurities while trying to win the heart of the beautiful Roxane. This play is well-known for its exploration of themes like love, honor, and self-identity. The opening of the work sets the stage in a theater in 1640 and introduces a lively scene filled with varied audience members, including soldiers, merchants, and nobles, as they await a performance of "Clorise." Amidst the bustling crowd, two main characters, Christian de Neuvillette and his friend Lignière, arrive, setting the tone for the mix of humor and conflict that follows. We learn of Cyrano's impending entrance as he prepares to make a dramatic statement by confronting the pompous actor Montfleury, whose presence in the theater he vehemently opposes. This captivating beginning highlights Cyrano's fierce spirit and foreshadows the clash between his brilliance and the societal expectations he confronts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
