It doesn't compile wtf did I do wrong?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "Circle.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int node;
    cout << "Number of nodes: ";
    cin  >> node;
    cNode *circle = new cNode[node];
    int nodeVal[node];                      
    int nodes = node;
    while (node >= 0){
         cout << "\nInput value for node " <<(nodes - node + 1) << endl;
         cin  >> nodeVal[(nodes - node)];
         node--;
    }
    node = nodes;
    while (node >= 0){
         int curNode = (nodes - node);
         *circle[curNode].setValue(nodeVal[curNode]);
         node--;
    }
}

29 R:\Ants.cpp invalid type argument of `unary *'

*circle[curNode].setValue(nodeVal[curNode]);

this doesn't make sense because:
1. arrays are the same as pointers in C, so there's nothing to dereference
2. that actually would be dereferencing the return value of setValue and doing nothing with it, anyway
