Gaston was cunning and an opportunist. he understood the situations extremely well and made use of them as much as he could. he is not an ethically or morally upright person. he is neither gullible nor a self-critic. he also is a hypocrite. at first he mentions that he is not fond his in-laws 'as much as' jeanne expects him to be. however, after making a deal with the american actress he suddenly showcases concern for them. he is also a person with a narrow mentality. it is shown when jeanne mentions about the dowry he took during their marriage. he is also a better business man than juliette is and doesn't seem to have an indecisive nature.

Gaston mindful, cheater, cunning. He was very bad that he didn't care about his wife and her family. In fact he dislike her family, and he don't want to spend even a single money for Jeanne's family. He is a cheater because he cheated Mrs.AlSmith who assumes Gaston as a owner. And he uses this chance to earn profit. He sells the property which not actually owned by him fro 3,00,000 francs. So he shows himself as better business man.

Mrs Al Smith just wanted the land,not the villa. This villa was near the French Hollywood Joinville and Mrs Al Smith being an actress had to be near the French Hollywood to shoot some films.She wanted to knock the villa down and build a bungalow on that land.This is why Mrs Al Smith was not interested in going over the house.

Gaston is a true opportunist. he is quite cunning and impolite. he is observed as making critical or insulting remarks at others .he also seems more of a male chauvinist and sarcastic towards his wife and her family. gaston is very cunning and calculated as a businessman and manages to sell the Villa in a minute and Juliet was trying to sell it for over a month however he fails to impress as a person .Justin appears to be a mean and money minded man. he should have possesses positive qualities in order to win the appreciation of The Reader .he should have been polite words his wife as well as Juliet moreover he shouldn't have committed the unethical act of selling juliette's villa .he should have honestly informed her of Mrs Al Smith visit and made his exit at the same time as he had no intention of buying the Villa.

in short gaston is a clever ,intelligent ,selfish,and miserly person who knows the art of making the most of an opportunity.
he was a better business man as he earns 1,00,000 francs by fooling juliette as well as his wife . he always use his presence of mind and knows how to work out a scheme intelligent.

Gaston was a man who makes fun of his wife and puts her down in public. He makes fun of her family and critizes her parents, he is sarcastic and ridicules Juliette and her villa. He is also domineering and does not wish to even consider his wife's opinion on happiness. He has already spent her dowry and does not feel any embarrassment admitting it. He is shrewd and calculating and as Mrs. Al Smith comes in while Jeanne and Juliette are upstairs, he sells her the villa, making a profit of a hundred thousand francs and a painting by an artist named Carot in the bargain. With his extremely unprincipled but clever business skills and his opportunism, he was able to acquire this incredibly profitable deal without making any investments in the property or having to do anything major.

He was an opportunist. He understood the situation very well and took the full advantage of the situation for his own profit. He instantly made a profit of one hundred thousand francs only by taking advantage of the situation and some acting.

Gaston uses his shrewdness and practical thinking to outsmart Juliette. He acts as a profit-oriented businessman, who is only motivated to make money, without bothering much about ethics, and succeeds in making a good amount of profit from a deal which involves zero investment. Thus, he can be claimed to be a better businessman than Juliette (though unethical).

Gaston was not interested in buying the villa in the beginning because he knew that Jeanne wants to buy the villa for her parents and for her sister's children. Gaston do not want to spend his own money for his in-laws and moreover the villa is not worth buying.
