Incel: Leben und Ansichten von Elliot Rodger, Gentleman: Difference between revisions

At the end, he compares Elliot's situation with the drama ''[[wikipedia:Cyrano_de_Bergerac_(play)|Cyrano de Bergerac]]:'' Although being talented, brave and an incredible poet as a knight (adding that he isn't such "such a weakling" as Elliot was), the protagonist's success with women is doomed due to his abnormal big nose. Cyrano secretly developed romantical feelings for his attractive cousin, Roxane. But she isn't aware of Cyrano's feelings, and instead loves Christian de Neuvillette, who is too tongue-tied to romance her. Cyrano famously writes love letters to Roxane, pretending to be Christian. Due to him earnestly trying to help them get together by using his intellect and hiding Christian's primitiveness, ''Der Schattenmacher'' also calls Cyrano an [[Cuckoldry|incel cuck]]. When Roxane comes to meet them at the front line they're currently at, Christian wants Cyrano to tell her that he secretly wrote letters under his name for him, so Christian can instead be loved by her as the fool he really is. While Cyrano wants to clarify, Christian gets shot in the war fight, and since Cyrano doesn't want to destroy the souvenir Roxane harbored for Christian, he kept the secret to himself for 15 years afterwards. After Christian's death, Roxane joined a cloister to mourn for Christian while also seeing Cyrano once a week. After an assassination attempt on Cyrano, he drags himself (wounded) to Roxane who then percipiently grasps the situation in their last encounter. She then affirms her love for Cyrano, but he still knows this won't be a happy ending while proceedingly dying. In contrast to Elliot, there is an inner instance of Cyrano that justifies him and even refuses external happiness if it would destroy his inner self. He may make himself look ridiculous, but never dishonors himself.
