confusing love...wait, its all confusing. Raterman's Blog

I truly and fully believe that Cyrano loves most truly in the book “Cyrano de Bergerac”. There are very few people who would be able to write love letters to a person who they do not truly love. The letters are a way Cyrano shows his love for the woman he is madly in love with without him saying it to her directly. The woman he is writing letters to is Roxane. Cyrano starts out by telling his friend, Christian that he can write letters to Roxane for him but then Cyrano writes Roxane without telling Christian. He is telling Roxane whatever he wants and is putting Christian’s name on the note. This has him get his feelings “out”. He is just saying the words he feels by signing another person’s name to it. He is using his words but is having another person’s name on the work.
As Cyrano is trying to express his friend’s (Christian) strong and love feelings for Roxane by writing letters to Roxane, he finds himself falling him in love with her. There is no possible way Cyrano would be able to write such passionate and heartfelt letters to this woman without feeling some strong feelings toward her.
When Roxane tells Christian she is not in love with only his face but also with the words he wrote to her, it is then that he knows then that Roxane is in love with Cyrano. Christian knew that Roxane was not in love with him anymore when she said, “ I would love you even if you weren’t beautiful”. She was saying that although she was at first shallow and was just in love with his looks, after hearing “his” words he wrote to her, she was in love with the words he wrote and his heart. Even though Roxane might not even know that he is in love with Cyrano, it is true. She is in love with Cyrano because Roxane is in love with the heart that wrote the beautiful words which she read and those beautiful words were written by Cyrano.
