Cyrano de Bergerac Paper
This summer reading book of Cyrano de Bergerac is about romances, war, hate, and etc. After reading this book, my favorite part of the book in the play, was in act three, Roxane's Kiss form scene V-XIV.

I pick this scene because, it's how Christian love Roxane and Cyrano is in the middle of everything. For example Roxane is related to Cyrano and Cyrano know Christian by being in with the Gascon Cadets. With all that Cyrano have to find a way for Christian to talk to Roxane in the way Cyrano does in the love letter's.

In the beginning of scene V Roxane come up Christian to talk to him. Christian was nervous and didn't know what to say but I love you over and over. I like this part because Christian did not know what to say to her like Cyrano do of how he express his love in sentence and in the delightful ways like Roxane would had thought like as in the letter's. Then later on in the scene Christian had know that he had made a mistake of what he said to Roxane and that she wasn't very happy about it. So when Cyrano had heard what happen from Christian he had to came up with a plan.

So after coming up with a quick and smart plan they both went to Roxane's house under the balcony. I also like this scene because Cyrano talk to Roxane for Christian in the night where he can not be seen. So after talking so long under the balcony, Christian interrupt him of what to say which was a kiss from Roxane . Cyrano was saying no it's to soon, but Christian say sooner or later we are going too. So later on someone was coming to the house to give a letter to Roxane, so Roxane then read the letter. I really like this scene towards the end because when Roxane was reading the letter out loud for everyone to hear, it was explaining how she didn't like Christian at first, which was funny cause Christian was their to hear what was in the letter. So later on in the letter it was saying how Christian and Roxane had to get married secretly by the Cardinal's decision before De

    The first of Chris change is his and Cyrano’s first meet. In the original storyline, Christian keeps making fun of Cyrano’s abnormally large nose. In the movie Chris says nothing and stairs obviously at his nose and ends up going off at how amazed and shocked he is, at how large Charlie’s nose is ¨It's huge, it's gigantic!¨. At first the character shoots insults and jokes at Cyrano to show Bravery. The writers changed this scene to fit to what people would actually react because someone would not go off and insult someone that´s their boss, in doing so the writers managed to keep the humor in the situation.…

    Because of the limited space available on stage, Kelley used props that served for multiple purposes. One prop was the moon, which appeared in most of the scenes where Cyrano undertook mental changes. The moon served as both background that shaped a mood and a symbol for Cyrano’s inner feelings. The moon indicated that it was night and the setting was outside. This was helpful for the audience to understand the situation of the play. The moon also served as a symbol that corresponds with Cyrano’s love for Roxane as the play goes. The moon is enlarged in the balcony scene where Cyrano confesses his love to Roxane as Christian. The moon is large because he is not concerned with his appearance in this scene since he is in the darkness and Roxane cannot notice that Cyrano is the one speaking to her. Cyrano is confident in this scene because his appearance is insignificant to him in this scene. The moon is a fake moon in the play within the play in the first scene because Cyrano feels that his appearance is a barrier in between Roxane and him. Overall the props on stage serve multiple purposes to convey the meaning of the…

    The directorial decision to include Catherine’s eulogy and the post funeral party scene in the film effectively enhanced character development. Catherine’s eulogy was significant in displaying Catherine’s behaviour in front of crowds, and her rash decision to make a speech at her father’s funeral. Catherine is shown to make emotional and rash decisions on the spot, not thinking of consequence. Catherine’s shocking speech is made in a calm tone of voice, but shows her clear resentment towards the crowd gathered at her father’s funeral – “Where’ve you all been the last 5 years?” At the end of her speech, she exclaims “I’m glad he’s dead” and walks out. As she is walking out, we see that Clair stands up after her, but it is Hal who chases her down – this event…

    This essay talks about the role of love as it used in Shakespeare’s comedies. It directly talks about “Much Ado about Nothing” and “Twelfth Night”, and how they use love in their stories. “Shakespeare expects us to accept wonder as having some kind of value in itself and in its relations to the action that has gone before. We are presented with the wonderful as an incitement to knowledge and to pleasure; and we are asked also to consider the dramatic fact that those who participate in the happy ending must be ready to set aside their human confinement to the probable and accept an intrusion of the improbable into their lives.” (262-263) Wonder and love are on equal footing in Shakespeare. He expects us to accept that the characters fall in love with each other as well. Love is a vital part of every romantic comedy whether it’s a play written by Shakespeare or a movie like “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. The essay also makes a note of how the characters change through the plays and compares how it works in both stories. The author of the essay…
