As we've been making predictions in class regarding the plot of Cyrano, we were asked to form a group and create a pastiche relating to our various predictions. In my group was Anna and Eric. Rather than focusing our efforts in regards to Cyrano's future, we were asked to centralize our pastiche around Roxanne's fate. We then decided to have Roxanne be persuaded by the nuns to join a convent. She feels at blame for both Cyrano's and Christian's death and seems to think that there is no longer a purpose for her to remain in this life as these two men have perished. She feels that she has sinned and the nuns convince her that joining a convent is the path that she should take to repent for these sins. This idea is evident in the last few lines of dialogue:
Roxanne: God will not accept me for I have sinned too much. I have cursed these men because they have known me.
Nuns: But God is forgiving. He will take care of the birds in the air and the animals on the
ground.
Roxanne: Yes sister! I will surrender my life to God. Pray for me!
