...and the greatest of these, is love.

I believe the character who loves most truly is Cyrano. Even though he may seem rough around the edges to some people and his is unfortunate when it comes to good looks, he still finds the courage to go beyond all that criticism and build a strong heart. His intentions and desires are admirable and his heart is truly in the right place. His character comes out and the true Cyrano is revealed. Even though he can sometimes throw up a front and have a rough appearance to some, he is still honest with himself and stays true to who he really is, no matter who accepts it or not. There is a very short amount of people like that today in our society. People are either fake to themselves/others or they are rude/crude when attacked by others. Cyrano seems to have every intention of loving people and caring for them. When Christian is trying to profess his love to Roxane, he gets tongue tied and finds an extreme lack of words to describe what he is actually feeling. He acquires help from his good friend Cyrano who basically spoon feeds him words and produces a beautiful arrangement of words that cut deep to her heart. His hidden stance under the balcony in the movie provided him the opportunity to give Christian every word he needed to capture the attention of his love. This example goes to show how dedicated he was to his friends and how thoughtful he could be. He not only provided a beautiful arrangement of words that demonstrated how thoughtful and loving he could be, but also he went the extreme effort of helping out his good friend. We see a soft side of Cyrano behind that big nose of his and how caring he could really be. He showed not only a love for the other gender and his friend, but also a love for love itself.
