What sets this apart from other perspectives on Rostand's incredible play is the serene nobility you've bestowed upon Roxanne. Too many analysts/critics unfairly besmirch her significance and good character; I'm glad you accord her the proper respect here. "When he strikes her with words, she beats him with memories." Simply took my breath away. She's no brittle flower, our Roxanne. I've always suspected she was every bit Cyrano's equal in matters of passion and insight. She was never the hollow, superficial, uncaring ditz others have suggested. Thank God you actually GET IT. Your last line, "...he doesn’t fight Death when she finally takes him away," was poignant and heart-breaking. In my eyes, this is Cyrano's moment of redemption: facing death with great courage and conviction made possible only through the love of the one for whom he lived. He is made whole here, for the first and last time in his life. There is absolutely no grander way for a hero to pass on, and you've given it it's rightful dignity. Merci bien.

You are very talented and obviously have a great love and understanding for Cyrano and things French. I feel, like you, that Cyrano was driven by a great deal of anger, masqueraded, much of the time, by bravado. Awesome stuff. Would you consider writing more Cyrano ff? Mary Jo
