Cyrano

As so as she said the word beautiful, Cyrano automatically assumed it was someone else. This comes to show that even though Cyrano was one of the bravest men and could claim victory in any fight; he had no confidence when it came to his appearance and his love life. Even people with the most confidence can let one flaw bring them down. I believe this piece is directed to anyone with low self-esteem and doesn’t believe that they can be loved for how they look. Take Cyrano for example, he believed that Roxane would never love him because of his ridiculously large nose. When Cyrano was writing the letters for Christian to Roxane he was telling his to her; the only problem was that it was addressed as if Christian had wrote it. At the end, Roxane ended up loving him for his poetic and heart felted
