De Guiche is the main antagonist of the 2021 film Cyrano portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn as a wealthy, ambitious nobleman who has a cold, calculating personality.
Description[]
De Guiche is an opposing double to Cyrano de Bergerac. He represents everything that Cyrano would become if he were to use his wit for flattery and social climbing. De Guiche is a violent, vengeful, and bitter man. As the film's villain, he constantly plans to have Cyrano killed, and he is unafraid to admit it.
He serves as a symbol of misguided aristocracy and ineffective leadership. His troops do not respect him. They approve of him only late in the film, when he leads a complex military maneuver for the French and then helps rescue Roxanne from the dangers of battle. He does become a better person near the end of the film, a change stemming from Cyrano's remarkable example of kindness, heroism, and respectability.[1]
