Mood Of Cyrano De Bergerac

At the end of Cyrano de Bergerac Cyrano dies because a stranger dropped a large piece of wood on his head while Cyrano was walking underneath. This scene is also based on the idea of romanticism.

These kinds of authorial interjections make sense in Zimbardo's case, as his audience has already been adjusted to his less formal way of writing, but when these same kinds of asides happen in Milgram’s article, they take a on different
