Cyrano de Bergerac: Final Scene


In this opening scene, Roxanne and de Guiche are seen in the park. De Guiche then proceeds to ask Roxanne if she still remembers Christian, to which she responds yes. Le Bret then enters the room with them and says he is worried for Cyrano because he is old poor and has a lot of enemies. De Guiche tells them not to worry because Cyrano lives his life as he chooses. De Guiche then tells Le Bret privately that a group of nobles are planning to kill Cyrano.
Ragueneau rushes in and tells Le Bret the sad news of Cyrano almost dying because some nobles almost broke his skull with a massive log of wood. Cyrano then mmets up with Roxanne as he always does to talk to her. Roxanne then gives him the letter that she has still kept from Christian. As Cyrano begins to read the letter, she realizes that she has heard that voice before. With this being said, she realizes that Cyrano is the lover that she has always loved, but it is too late as Cyrano dies reciting his last poem to Roxanne.
This particular scene revelas to Roxanne that her actual lover is Cyrano de Bergerac. It also shows the lame death of Cyrano as he gets killed by a group of nobles who broke his skull with a wooden log instead of dying by a swordsman by the sword. As Cyrano dies, he tells Roxanne that he loves her and recites a final poem for his love.
