The part that interests me the most is the presence of Roxane. The love relationship in the play is more interesting and easier to understand than the ballade formed during a fight. Moreover, the Act successfully showed the readers how ¨cool〔 Cyrano is.

I suppose it is necessary to describe things in great detail in the first Act, so the actual play on the theatre floor will more accurately reveal the writer＞s ideas.

The second Act is important because it is where the conflict begins. The conflict that ¨I love a woman, and she loves another man.〔 determines whatever is going to happen later in the play.

At the beginning of the play, Cyrano and others were starving. They were surrounded by their enemies. Under such harsh conditions, Cyrano still kept writing and sending out letters to Roxane everyday. This shows the depth of Cyrano’s love towards Roxane, and the way he was willing to risk his life only for the pleasure of Roxane by reading a letter.

In the play, in addition to Christian and Cyrano, there was also a De Guiche who loved Roxane deep enough that he was willing to stay in the battlefield to protect Roxane. This contributes to the overall conflict of the play, in which the three people who loved Roxane were willing to die for her.

I agree with Ashley that the writer didn’t write much about Roxane’s thoughts or similar things like that. The story is generally too heroic and dramatic.

I used to write to my ex-girlfriend everyday. However, I merely wrote, not sent. I didnˇt have enough ideas to express my love on a full piece of paper. It seems like my wit can only compare to that of Christian. In my letters, I have almost never written ¨I love you.〃 The first reason is that is a known fact. "Come on, she is your girlfriend". The second reason is ¨Love〃 by itself really doesnˇt mean anything if no action is taken accordingly.

After all 15 years, at the edge of death, what is Cyrano so afraid of? He was brave enough to fight a war, to die from starvation, and to risk his life to send letters (the most difficult one), but he dared not to tell his heart in front of the girl he loved.

In Act 5, Roxane still carried the last letter from the dead body of Christian. This showed how strong she loved Christian by wrongly assuming that the letter was written from Christian. More dramatic than that is Cyrano could still recite what he wrote to Roxane 15 years ago in the middle of the dark.

Nonetheless, Cyrano reminds a hero even when he dies. He died with his blade, and said ¨I fight on! I fight on! I fight on!〃 (195)in the second to the last page. The play ends with the end of Cyranoˇs life, which is an appropriate arrangement. Beside, it also reinforces the heroic character of Cyrano.

The whole play would be more attractive if the book cover is replaced with a more handsome looking male with a pretty looking female. In other words, the book cover we have only tells us, ¨This is an old play, and you need to enjoy it.〔 How come the cover is only brown and white? We can have more colorful cover, which at least will make me think this is a beloved and popular story.

I drew many pictures on the book while I was reading the book. I have drawings on almost every page of the book. By doing this, it helps me visualize what＞s going on in the book. I am a person who is better with pictures than words. When I flip to a page, and I see the picture I drew, I will remember what was on that part of the play 愺 the setting, the character, and the actions.
