ian, Cyrano does not merely lose his handsome mask; he also loses his only reliable evidence to prove this deception. Ironically, the truth is revealed on the day he is dishonorably attacked. He reiterates the last letter Christian supposedly wrote for Roxane from his heart. The evening sky makes reading impossible, and yet he is able to "read" the letter word for word. Roxane recalled his voice from the first time Christian had spoken to her about love, discovering that the voice she heard that night is the same as the one who recites the letter that fateful night. Despite the truth has being revealed by Roxane, Cyrano still cannot bear the truth. No, no, my own dear love, I love you not! (Cyrano, P.190) Perhaps Cyrano thinks that Roxane doesnt have to know the truth since it doesnt mean anything anymore. It is ironic in Roxanes discovery that it is Cyrano who has waited his whole life to tell her he loves her. It is hard to understand why Cyrano has waited so long to unfold the truth. If he had confessed his love to Roxane earlier, Roxane would definitely appreciate it and the couple then would have lived happily together. Instead, Cyranos ornery behavior has caused Roxane to love only once, but to lose that love twice. This is not fate nor coincidence. In complete control of his life, Cyrano is arrogant, deceptive, and hesitant in his actions; this ultimately leads to the great tragedy. As a result, we conclude that Cyrano has technically jeopardized himself. If Cyrano had not been so stubborn when he refused to be under De Guiches patronage, had not been so generous to feign the love letters for Christian, and had he not been so hesitant when he deciding to confess his love to Roxane, the tragedy could become a romantic love story with a sweet ending. Again, Cyrano must hold all the responsibility for his actions and he must recognize that only he is to blame for this tragedy....
