Roxanne is a supporting protagonist in the 2021 film Cyrano portrayed by Haley Bennett.
Description[]
Difficult to accept at first, Roxanne is a romantic idealist, but seemingly not of the depth of character or intelligence of Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano and Roxanne have many of the same ideals, though Roxanne seems to see only the surface. She is attracted to Christian de Neuvillette in the first place by his physical qualities. However, she then attributes to him all the qualities that Cyrano has in such abundance, and she mourns Christian for these very qualities.
When Cyrano dies and she learns the truth, she says that she has lost her love twice. One can only assume that she was blind to Cyrano's true character because of her memory of Christian as she thought he was. However, she still sees Cyrano as the friend and companion of her childhood. Nevertheless, her years of mourning are for the nobility of soul that she believed she had lost when Christian died, and not for the surface values of the précieuse she once was.[1]
