| Quote #7 CYRANO |
Cyrano’s description of the night makes it seem like a setting from a stage play. There is also a fantastic aura as if this is taking place within a fairy play, full of "blue moonbeams" and "magic mirror[s]". This gives the whole scene – even the impending battle – a sense of artificiality, as if it is all scripted and nothing can go wrong for Cyrano.
| Quote #8 THE APPRENTICE (Advances with a dish covered by a napkin.) |
Ragueneau’s apprentice presents him with a fanciful and frivolous creation. That such a whimsical shape is made out of something as light and insubstantial as pastry puff makes it even more eccentric.
| Quote #9 CYRANO (To Ragueneau) |
Ragueneau admits that he loves being the flamboyant showman, even if his work is not critically acclaimed. He simply revels in the attention that his ostentation brings him – whether it is for his sappy poetry or saccharine pastries.
