In “Cyrano de Bergerac” there are many situations where the characters show their love for one another. I think that the character who shows their love the best is Cyrano. Cyrano unlike Christian can tell a girl what they want to hear, instead of telling them their beautiful. Cyrano sounds more truthful and more romantic than Christian. Also, Cyrano goes out of the way by writing her love letters (outside writing them for Christian) and sending them to her atleast two times a day. He even lies to Christian by saying he would only write Roxanne once every couple of weeks so he wouldn’t think anything was up. Roxanne also tells Christian that she basically loves Cyrano because she like the way he’s passionate and respects her. She says that she was in love with the words that comes out of his mouth not just looks. Most girls that I have known always love someone who is romantic and can say the right things not someone who just does the ordinary things. Because Cyrano is so good at these things he gets Roxanne to fall in love with him for his words not his looks like most girls. If Christian felt more confident and instead of asking for Cyrano’s help writing her letters he would’ve got Roxanne by just his looks but he asked for help and it changed her mind. Cyrano shows that his love is more passionate and truthful than that of Christian.
