Act IV scene I

In Act IV scene I at the siege of Arras, the Cadets of Carbon de Castel-Jaloux languish, surrounded by the Spaniards and lacking food and water. Le Bret keeps watch with Carbon early one morning, and they discuss the conditions of the soldiers. They hear gunfire in the distance, and Cyrano runs in. Every morning he has been crossing enemy lines to post a daily letter to Roxane. Cyrano tells the startled guards that he promised Roxane that Christian would write her every single day. Cyrano looks at the sleeping Christian and says that Christian is dying of hunger but is still handsome. Dawn breaks, drums sound, and Cyrano goes off to write another letter. The cadets awaken and complain about their hunger. There is talk, and Carbon asks Cyrano for his help. The thing about this scenes that get me is how was Cyrano was getting though enemy lines to just deliver a letter. I mean come on that in possible, he must really be that good at fighting because he was doing it every single day without getting hurt. Cyrano is truly a man of his word as he will never back down out of a promise. When he needs something to get done he will do it no matter what and that is one of the reasons why I love Cyrano. I also wonder how much food the solder had during the war because it seems to me that they ran out really fast. It also seem like they was out number because they was keep retreating.
