Honor in Cyrano de Bergerac The definition of honor is a keen sense of ethical conduct. As George Bernard Shaw once said‚ “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable‚ but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” Similar to the quote honor is portrayed by Cyrano De Bergerac.

The book Cyrano de Bergerac was actually a very interesting book. It was about a tragic hero named Cyrano who was secretly in love with his debonair cousin Roxane.
