Act V
Act V: Cyrano¹s Gazette
Fifteen years have passed and Roxane now lives at a convent. She has been here ever since Christian died. For fun, she grieves the loss of her husband and hangs out with the nuns. Cyrano visits her every Saturday at three o'clock and keeps her spirit light. Nothing has really changed for Cyrano. He still loves Roxane, he still acts out and disrupts the community, and he still refuses to be an active part of society.
As the scene begins, it is Saturday and Roxane is waiting for Cyrano to arrive. Meanwhile, someone has tried to kill Cyrano by dropping a log on his head. Instead of going to a doctor, Cyrano goes to the convent to see Roxane with a bandage on his head.
Cyrano cracks a few jokes when he sees Roxane but soon starts to die. He asks Roxane to read the letter that "Christian" had written to her on the day he died. Roxane realizes that it was Cyrano who wrote to her and expressed his love that night on her balcony.
As Cyrano dies, he realizes that in his life he did everything yet did nothing. He hands Roxane the white plume which he used to write her hundreds of letters and passes away.
