* AdaptationalVillainy: To be fair, de Guiche was ''always'' the villain in the story of ''Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac''. However, in the adaptation he loses the acts of redemption he performs in the later part of Rostand's play, when he stays with the Cadets in their suicidal attack, and when he attempts to warn Cyrano that he is being targeted for murder. (For what it's worth, film de Guiche does seem to regret ordering the Cadets into the worst danger, saying with apparent sincerity that the choice was made "for my King, and not my spite.")
