The real Cyrano de bergerac
French dramatist and duelist In fictional works about his life he is featured with an overly large nose People would TRAVEL to see it… Portraits suggest that he did have a big nose, but it wasn’t as crazy as it is in the literature about him Cyrano de Bergerac is about Cyrano’s life

Cyrano de bergerac Essential concept – “panache”
French word that carries the connotation of flamboyant manner and reckless courage Cyrano is considered the epitome of panache Is panache a good thing? Who is Cyrano? A cadet (nobleman serving as a soldier) in the French Army Brash, strong-willed, talented duelist, poet, musician He has an enormous nose, which causes him lots of self-doubt This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin Roxane He attempts to woo her anyway, and that’s where it gets interesting…

Mirror activity

Journal 2 How does our appearance affect the way we see ourselves?
What factors may determine how we see ourselves?
14
Mirror activity In order to meet Cyrano, we must first meet ourselves.
Each of you will look at yourselves in the mirror, and study your face. Focus on one thing that you find unpleasant, problematic, uncomfortable, unsatisfying, or embarrassing about your face or surrounding area (ears, hair, etc.) Pass the mirror and draw a face. On the face, exaggerate the flaw that you have identified. Draw it larger than it is so that it is the prominent feature.
15
Mirror share Now that our drawings are complete, we are going to share them. Discussion Prompt…What happens when you focus on one aspect of your face that displeases you? Do you feel that it creeps into your head and interferes with your view of yourself? Why do we not like our looks?

Act III Activity SWBAT: understand that comedy is a difficult literary and real word to define.
62
Consider these ideas and questions:
Is the importance we give love merited? How is the relationship between Cyrano and Roxane the same or different from Romeo and Juliet? Does Cyrano show a deeper love for Roxane by granting her wishes and sacrificing his own? What are the choices we usually make for a love interest based upon? Create a booklet or comic strip that demonstrates the different characteristics of a boyfriend or girlfriend that are most appealing.
63
Journal #5 One’s friends and associates may reveal much about personality and character. Consider the people in the play to whom Cyrano is close. What do those relationships suggest about Cyrano’s character?
