The “everyday self” is not what it obviously

Not for Lads -Melvin Burgess “Not for lads” is an extract of Melvin Burgess’ book entitled “Billy Elliot” which was published in 2001. It was also made into a musical play and a movie.

Edmond Rostand, is centered around three main characters: Roxanne, Cyrano, and Christian. Roxanne is a beautiful woman loved by two men; Cyrano de Bergerac and Christian de Neuvillette. While Cyrano is a charmingly witty poet without beauty, Christian is a vain, handsome man lacking spirit. The play is about the impossible love triangle between Cyrano, Roxanne, and Christian.
