MoreCharacters
A powerful, married nobleman in love with Roxane and not fond of Cyrano. Decietful and
always angry, he attempts several times to have Cyrano killed, once by a hundred men.
Cyrano’s friend, a pastry chef with a deep love for poetry. He gives away pastries in return for poems, and, therefore, innumerable poets visit
him frequently.
Cyrano’s friend and closest confidant. He is a fellow soldier and guardsman. He worries that
Cyrano’s principles will ruin his career, but Cyrano ignores his concerns.
Christian’s friend, a satirist and drunkard with many powerful enemies. Cyrano protects him from the hundred men hired by de Guiche to
ambush him.
An insolent young nobleman lauded by de Guiche as a possible husband for Roxane, a scheme that would give de Guiche access to Roxane. After he insults Cyrano’s nose, he is
defeated in an ensuing duel.
Ragueneau’s sharp-tongued wife. She does not approve of her husband’s patronage of the local
poets. An altogether unhappy woman, she leaves Ragueneau for a Musketeer after Act II.
A modest and well-meaning monk. De Guiche employs him to carry a message to Roxane. He
is diverted at first by Cyrano when they are outside Roxane’s residence. He later presides over Roxane and Christian’s hasty wedding.
Not a character, but a historical figure referenced in the play as de Guiche’s uncle. Perhaps the
most powerful man in France, he is a skilled political manipulator
whose authority rivals and probably exceeds that of the
king.
