Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" is a classic French romantic drama, presented in five acts and written in verse. This enduring play chronicles the life of Cyrano, a brilliant and witty cadet with an unrequited love for Roxane, who is unaware of his affections due to his perceived physical flaw—a conspicuously large nose. The narrative details Cyrano's poignant sacrifice as he ghostwrites love letters for the handsome but inarticulate Christian, allowing Christian to woo Roxane with Cyrano's eloquent words. It masterfully illustrates themes of inner beauty versus outward appearance, the power of language, and the complexities of love and self-sacrifice, making it a timeless exploration of human emotion.
