Cyrano proposes to write love letters to Roxane on Christian’s behalf. This is a central plot point in Edmond Rostand's play "Cyrano de Bergerac." Cyrano, who is eloquent, witty, and a skilled poet, agrees to use his talents to write romantic letters for Christian, who lacks Cyrano's way with words. Cyrano himself is in love with Roxane but is too self-conscious about his large nose to believe she could ever love him back. He sees helping Christian as a way to express his love for Roxane indirectly.
