Montfleury asks the Marquises for help in stopping Cyrano, but as they try to quiet Cyrano, he says several poetic lines as he threatens to kill them all: “Please have pity on my sword: if you don’t stop shouting you’ll frighten it out of its scabbard.” After saying this, Cyrano challenges all of the Marquises, but the Marquises being the cowards they are do not accept the challenge. Cyrano then proclaims that he has personal reasons for not letting Montfleury perform. Knowing that the play will not go as planned, the manager of the stage asks how much money he is going to lose because of this. After hearing this, Cyrano throws a bag full of gold and throws it to the manager. After all of this commotion, Valvert chooses to challenge Cyrano to a duel and even insults Cyrano’s big nose. After hearing this insult, he mocks Valvert for his lack of insults and comes up with a list of his own. As the duel is about to begin he says that he will perform a poem during his fight and at the end of the poem he will strike. Surely as he said, when his poem ends he strikes and Valvert is left wounded.
Le Bret, Cyrano’s friend, tells Cyrano that acting this way has given him many different enemies. However, Cyrano says that this makes him happy. Cyrano then goes on to tell Le Bret that he has difficulty revealing to Roxanne that he loves her because of his nose.
Suddenly, one of Roxanne’s friends tells Cyrano that she wants to visit him. Excited, he says that he will meet her at 7 in the morning.
The next day, Ligniere rushes in to tell Cyrano that a hundred men want to kill him and he wants Cyrano to help him get home safely. Cyrano accepts his friends request and promises to protect him.
The importance of these scenes is that it shows how superhuman Cyrano really is. It shows his elegance and skill in combat, humor, and poetic verses. He shows his skill in combat when he wounds Valvert in his duel. He also shows his sense of humor when he makes fun of his own nose in front of many people. Finally, he shows his poetic side when he performs a poem during his duel with Valvert.
After reading these scenes, I found one word that I liked a lot because it reflected Cyrano as a person. Divinity (page 50) means to be superhuman or surpassing excellence. Cyrano’s divinity shocked and even delighted the audience of the theater.
