Cyrano Ingenuity Insulting Lack Mocked Nose Plays Remarks Reproaches Rostand Speaker Suggests
EDITORS COMMENTS
Cyrano de Bergerac, a legendary figure from French literature and theatre, is depicted in this print with his iconic, oversized nose taking center stage. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the historical context of the 17th century, where the man with the remarkable nose captivated audiences with his wit, charm, and poetic eloquence. In this moment, Cyrano stands tall and proud, reproaching the speaker who has dared to mock his distinctive feature. With a piercing gaze, he challenges the speaker's lack of ingenuity, implying that the man's insults are shallow and unoriginal. The speaker, taken aback by Cyrano's quick retort, is left speechless. Cyrano de Bergerac, a play by Edmond Rostand, first premiered in Paris in 1897 and has since become a timeless classic. The story follows the adventures of the noble-hearted but self-conscious Cyrano, who uses his eloquence to woo the woman he loves, Roxane, on behalf of the handsome but unintelligent Christian. In this scene, Cyrano's sharp wit and clever repartee are on full display, demonstrating his superior intellect and unwavering confidence. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of theatre and literature, reminding us of the enduring power of words and the importance of self-acceptance. Cyrano's unforgettable character continues to inspire and captivate audiences, and this image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy.
