        <description><![CDATA[I think there are a couple of ways in which Edmond Rostand attempts to capture the attention of his audience in the first scene of the play.
First, he starts off with a fairly active and bustling scene.  Only seven lines have been spoken before two soldiers begin a sword fight to pass the time.  Later on pages run around the theater (the one on stage) shooting pea shooters.  This seems pretty lively and likely to catch attention.
A second...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Because he has satirized the hypocrites of his society, there is an "accidental" retaliation against Cyrano de Bergerac one day:  a log falls from an open window onto de Bergerac.
Suffering from this terrible blow, Cyrano josts one final time, but loses to his foe, death.  As he lies dying Roxane comes to him, and tries to tell her the "gazette" of news at Court.  But, as he nears death, Cyrano asks Roxane to read to him Christian's note...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the end of Act 3, de Guiche sends Christian and Cyrano off to war.  The cadets were not originally going to war, but when de Guiche learned that he had been tricked and Roxanne had married Christian, he signed the order to send the cadets in his anger.  Christian does not actually make a promise in this scene, but Cyrano makes one for him.  Roxanne begs Cyrano to promise to keep Christian safe, make him be careful, and keep him from the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Act I, Scene ii before Cyrano arrives at the theatre, Cyrano's friends describe him as a poet, swordsman, scientist, and musician.  Le Bret also describes him as the most delightful man under the sun.  Cyrano displays all of these characteristics with passion throughout the play.  He acts with such bravado to cover his physical insecurities (about his large nose).  Cyrano is an extraordinary character whose friends passionately love him...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[All of the action of Act I takes place in the year 1640 in the hall of the Hotel de Bourgogne in Paris. The stage directions indicate that it is a "sort of tennis court arranged and decorated for a theatrical performance."
Don't be mistaken. The Hotel de Bourgogne is not a hotel where guests can rent rooms. Rather, it is a theater, built on top of the remains of a palace constructed by the dukes of Burgundy.

        <description><![CDATA[The setting for Act III, scene 1, is just outside Roxane's house, in the old section of Marais. Here is how it is described in the play itself:A small square in the old Marais. The houses are old and the streets are narrow. On the right is ROXANE'S house and the wall of her garden, which is overhung with thick foliage. There is a window and balcony over the door and a bench in front of the house. By the use of the bench and some stones jutting...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are two reasons for Cyrano's hatred of Montfleury. The reason Cyrano states is that he hates Montfleury because he is a terrible actor. He chases him off the stage after ridiculing him for being fat and banishes him from the stage for a month.The true reason that Cyrano hates him is one he keeps from others. The reason is that Cyrano is in love with Roxanne. Montfleury made a pass at her and this infuriates Cyrano. Cyrano is insanely...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Count de Guiche is now the Duke of Grammont. By Act V, scene ii,
fifteen years have passed, and the Duke is talking with Roxane in
the convent where she lives. The Duke has softened considerably
from the violent, angry, and bitter man he was earlier. Cyrano's
kindness, heroism, and respectability have helped to make the Duke
a better person by the end of the play. Roxane tells the Duke that
Cyrano visits her every week, giving her all of the...]]></description>
