That ugly, affectionate man

In the distant Enlightenment era, there was such a French man. His swordsmanship is unstoppable; his poetic talent is outstanding, and his speech is perfect; he can fight hundreds of enemies for his friends, and he can fight the Spaniards for the sake of his country; he can duel with arrogant opponents By singing beautiful verses, you can tell the sci-fi story of the human landing on the moon while dealing with people. He is generous, unrestrained, enthusiastic, humorous, brave, and single-minded. He is both a well-mannered gentleman and a chivalrous man. He's a poet, a swordsman, a musician, a physicist—and, damned,
a big nose at the same time. It really cost him his life in the end. Because he is also in love with his cousin Hoksan, a perfect woman full of poetry and books. We have reason to believe that my cousin loves him too, but the big nose made him dare not confirm it, for decades.
He can spit out long lines of poetry while dancing the sword, but he dares not express the simplest concern to his cousin; he can beat a hundred people alone in the streets of Paris at night, but he does not dare to hold his cousin's hand in the moonlight ; What's more, when a little brother Chris Jian with a beautiful face but not enough IQ showed his love for Hawksang in front of him, he didn't think about punching him like the protagonist of the novel at the beginning. Rival in love, but writing love letters and making suggestions for Chris Jian like a treasure - just because Hawksang once said that he was attracted by Chris Jian's appearance! In the end, he even contributed to their wedding and his own tragedy.
In the eyes of his friends, in the eyes of all of us, he was a poet, a swordsman, a musician, a physicist, more than his nose. But in his own eyes, there is only his own nose! He can throw a white handkerchief at anyone who mocks his nose, and he can use more than ten tones to make fun of his nose, but in his heart, he just feels inferior for his nose, and he doesn't believe that his humble self can get true love—this What a sad and stupid man.
It was this stupid man who wrote love letters for his rivals with the deepest true feelings in his heart, and took care of Hoxang for many, many years after Krisjian's death, until he died. Everyone is saying "I don't care if I'm with her or not, but I want to give her a lifetime of happiness", but who has carried out such a promise for decades like him? Everyone was moved by his deep feelings, so he named it "Love Saint", a love sage with a big nose.
But his heart, Cyrano de Bergerac's inner world, can really be summed up in one sentence "Love Saint"? When he was dying at the end, Hoxham had understood his love, and we all waited with bated breath for his last words, hoping that it would be a loving and affectionate motto, which he finally uttered. It's "the white feather on my hat!"
No, the main thread of his life, the core of his deep affection is not just love, but the dignity and perseverance of a true poet, swordsman, man, something I can't explain in words now Clearly, a creed that may seem absurd to modern people. He is a true knight in his bones, which bears a subtle resemblance to that loner in the Castilian fields. So he was not compatible with this world and was assassinated in the end; so he was sent to the battlefield where the balance of power was disparate, to complete impossible tasks; so he just couldn't allow his lover to marry such a guy with a big nose .
But he is a real man, and the drama named after him is not a love drama, but a "man drama" - there is only a "vase" heroine in the whole story, but there is a villain who is still a hero. The earl who respects Cyrano's talent and eventually fights with him; he is not good at words but truly loves Hoxan, and finally realizes that Hoxan loves Chris Jian of Cyrano; , Le Bray, and the group of Gascogne officers who were "fighting and outspoken" and died heroically in the end... These are the real "man" images, and Cyrano is the best among them.
Because of that big nose, all kinds of flaws, and chivalry, Cyrano didn't become a great man, a winner in life, but it was because of his deadly nose, his flaws, and his touching spirit that his name was Has been given a new meaning - hero.
