What Happened to Helena Rojo's character?


After Ursua is hanged, she appears briefly then disappears for the rest of the film. It's possible that she died off screen, but that would be strange considering that literally every other named characters' fate was explicitly shown during the film

She is shown walking into the forest after the battle, dazed, probably hoping to find a better future within nature than with the madmen (my interpretation).

YES. AT THE 1:16:44 mark she vanishes into the jungle. Prior to that the men watched her walk towards the jungle. They did nothing to stop her and seemed shocked at the sight.

Death by Cop...I mean cannibal it seems.

At 1:17:05 someone reports that she was gone without a trace and the Indians too...

a-

I will not fear. Fear is the mind killer.

It's left up to the imagination.

I like to think she stumbled upon a clearing in the jungle where a winged unicorn was waiting and flew off on it to a land of rainbows and gingerbread men. 🌈


Also, what's the point of making so many threads asking the same question? It's not like there is lots of traffic on this board, more threads won't mean a faster answer.

She probably got another part in another production somewhere and asked to be written out.

She was a strong and dedicated woman and I would like to think she survived, perhaps went to live with the natives who spared her.

Yeah, I doubt it but it's a hope. She was a good character.
