Dale's Cyrano Reflections Noted During Movie
“My soul purpose in this life is to love Roxanne” — LOVE and CONNECTION is the primary theme in 2s.
Song theme: “Have you ever loved someone… madly?”
Cyrano’s Captain LeBray/LeBrett friend says that Cyrano doesn’t believe Roxanne has the depth to love him— that is an accusation of pride.
Roxanne meets Cyrano and won’t talk with him until she attends to help his wound.
“Proud yet naturally modest” is the man she loves…. But she has never spoken to him. Cyrano drops inside.
Roxanne to Cyrano: “You were always so kind… I will support you as you support me.” But he tells her he has no confession, no request.
“Aren’t you PROUD!?” the Duke deGuiche accuses Cyrano, who refuses to enlist or write for him.
Cyrano tells his commander that he will never stoop to **flatter or serve other people’s opinion of him… ** but he then humiliates himself by hugging Christian into the soldiers’ world and offers his help to link him with Roxanne— the only esteem he seems he is worthy of.
“I am very confused: are you here to help me or hinder me?” “Help” Cyrano says. “Why are you helping me? What do you gain?”
“I will make you eloquent and you will make me handsome.” A give and get.
Note the recurring score theme. “I’d give anything for someone…” GIVE anything for a connection. “No matter how bad it gets they won’t turn away from me.”
Cyrano: “And I my heart will lend.”
The men do a **deception** (3 wing) for a Longing Romance (4) and True Connection/Love (2). The love given and received is thwarted by deception, so there is no real sending and receiving.
The story is locked in Cyrano’s belief that Roxanne was not capable of loving him and that he could not live through her rejection, so deception is the method of the connection and the destruction.
Roxanne begins a deception of her own, to keep Cyrano in town and wound his pride by keeping him from the front.
“Humiliate him…His warrior pride is his big weakness…” she tells The Duke.
The story is 234 w pride deception and longing, and a (tragic) climax that says you drew me in with an identity that is not authentic.
Christian tells Cyrano I Don’t Need You Anymore, hurts his pride.
When Roxanne meets Christian in reality, she wants to be flattered in flowery language. It doesn’t work. “I Need More” is her song of protest. She wants depth and poetry and authenticity. Christian admits he needs Cyrano and Cyrano demands: “Help me…” “No! you don’t need me.” “So I am essential?” Yes. This is a Two insisting he hear that he is needed/connected/important.
As painful as it is for Cyrano, he is focused on Roxanne having the love she wants.
The words are longing love, but flattery flowery.
Cyrano: “The Letters are a mask in a coward’s game.”
Roxanne has played a coquettish flattery game with the Duke, and it blows up in her face when he threatens to take her regardless. And Sarah will do anything to save Roxanne.
The Duke sings of his wounded Pride. “I deserve a little kindness…Why should I have to beg for what everybody wants?” I deserve a little kindness. I deserve respect like everybody else.” 2 Pride Goes to 8 Vengeance.
❤️ “Heaven is where ever I fall”… song is so moving. The soldiers at war sing of:
**Their Connections**: All the People They Love… listen to the lyrics. “Take this letter to….” “Tell them not to cry at all, heaven is where ever I fall.” Melancholic song but a verbal care for the emotions of those they leave behind. Wife, girls, father…. All connections.
The ruse is up when Christian finds that Cyrano had always loved Roxanne. Cyrano wants Christian to protect Rox from the truth if he survives.
Cyrano wants the ruse, but Christian says it is a Moral Issue: Type One Wing Integrity focus showing up here!!!!
Nun: Cyrano is too proud to admit he is not eating well.
I have always loved Cyrano. "And I have loved my pride."
Final lyrics: I don’t know who that was…I am somebody desperate.. why i cannot tell anybody the truth… but I’m somebody just like you…(identity/persona issues w/ 234s).

Self-Reflection
- What are the gifts that Type Two Connectors bring to the world?
- How- if in wrong measure- is this type's focus a shadow in your own life? (not theirs, yours)
- Does the film bring your attention to Pride and Humility in a broader way than before?
- If you are not a Type Two: What would be enhanced in your life if you increased the attention to Personal Love and Connection with others?
- If you are a Type Two: What messages are in this story for you?
