cyrano de bergerac

Q: Cyrano - 
"Of my broad felt made lighter,
I cast my mantle broad,
And stand, poet and fighter,
To do and to record.
I bow, I draw my sword...
En garde! with steel and wit
I play you at first abord...
At the last line, I hit!

Q: Wouldn't it be hard for Cyrano to be focusing on fencing and announcing a poem at the same time?

C. I"m able to get the gist of the play, but its hard to truly understand the formalities of their character through just the basis of their words. Especially since their vocabulary is very dignified. The fact that every action they commit to must be over analyzed and carefully thought out is humorous, I think they make too much of a fuss on things that should really be quite simple, they should really be more blunt and express their emotions plainly so that others wouldn't have to be frustrated with trying to figure them out and linger on their every word.
