Discuss the character of Juliette.
Juliette is a proud person. She is in need of money but does not wish to pick up acting assignments. She puts down the maid when she suggests Juliette is right for certain comic roles. Juliette is quite mercenary. Although she is ready to accept a hundred thousand francs for the villa, which is twice what she paid for it, she tries to sell it to Gaston for two hundred thousand francs. She is not very shrewd or business-like. She is easily taken in and sells the house to Gaston without trying to find out what made him change his mind. She is desperate to sell the villa and is willing to sign a deal saying she sold it the previous day.
