Write a brief character sketch of Gaston.
Gaston is a chauvinistic man who makes fun of his wife and puts her down in public. He makes fun of her family and criticizes her parents and nephews and nieces. He is sarcastic and ridicules Juliette and the villa. He is domineering and does not wish to consider his wife’s opinion or happiness. He has already spent her dowry and does not feel any embarrassment admitting it. He is shrewd and calculating and as Mrs A1 Smith comes in while Jeanne and Juliette are upstairs, he sells her the villa making a hundred thousand francs and a Carot painting in the bargain.
