I like the idea of the author placing the time of year for the last part of the story in autumn. Considering autumn is a symbol for the coming of death, it seems suitable for what happens in the last act. I really believe that this part of the story is the most important, yet boring to read. I say this because all the action was in the earlier scenes and now things are starting to calm down. Throughout the last act, a lot of important things happen. You read about how Ragueneau took on the job of being an author, and many other jobs. We learn that Roxane has become a nun, fourteen years later. After Christian died, Cyrano became Roxane's gazette, bringing her news from the city and its people. On his way there for the last time, he was attacked and is hurt badly. the gazette important because I believe it's not only to bring her news, or the fact that she's his cousin, but because he still loves her. Closer to the end of the story, Roxane hands a letter to Cyrano later that night (If you can remember, this is the same letter that she had received on the same day that Christian died). Cyrano sits down on a chair and starts reading the letter. As he is reading, Roxane exclaims that Cyrano speaks the letter so well, as if he wrote it. As he is closing to the end of the letter, Roxane leans over and looks at the letter. When she sees that it's so dark that Cyrano can't even read the letters, she exclaims: "It was you!" This specific part of the book reminds me of a movie called "17 Again", where a man turns back into a teenager in high school to help his kids, and to change his wife's mind about a divorce. He (Still 17) and his wife are in a courthouse and he states that he has a letter from her husband. After he is done reading, he puts the letter down and you can see that all it was were directions to get to the courthouse. As the book comes to a close, Cyrano is leaned up against a tree with his sword drawn and talking to Roxane. He then starts to finish his gazette for that day and says: "Today, Saturday, the twenty-fifth, Monsieur de Bergerac, was murdered." He then collapses, dead.
