Cyrano+period+3

Cyrano is similar to Beowulf in his bragging, but as Mohammed Ali pointed out, it's not bragging if it's the truth. Do you think Cyrano has the right to brag and toot his own horn? What has he done in Act I to be proud of and to show that he's not just some regular kind of guy? Feel free to tell his triumphs but also to contrast him with others in the play.
