“I love you” (65). That is the most elaborate expression Christian can say to Roxane. Christian has the looks, but can’t woo her with his words. Christian’s looks are the only thing that impress Roxane. Not even the braveness of Christian being a soldier has an affect on Roxanne. She is only after his looks.

Cyrano’s everlasting love for her is expressed in the poems he writes for her, but she does not love him back. She assumes Christian writes these words because he is handsome, even though Cyrano writes them from his
