Character of Maid
The maid in the drama is quite an ambitious and talented woman. She has a yearning to become as famous as Greta Garbo. Since she is paid 400 francs per month by Juliette, she manages to find work as minor actor at JoinVille Studio for which she will be paid hundred francs a morning. She is quite rudely straightforward. She does not hesitate telling her mistress that she has a funny and comical face. She often offers to get Juliette a role in the movie she is acting in.
Character sketch of Juliette
Juliette is quite an important character in the play who is shown quite edgy concerning the prospective sale of her villa. She is quite attached to villa, however she wants to sell it at hundred thousand francs for some personal financial reasons. She is quite a polite and amiable woman who does not get angry easily. She even ignores the maid's insulting remark. She has artistic tastes as she doesn't want to sell Corot's painting along with the villa. She is a good business woman as she describes the qualities of the villa to Gaston and Jeanne quite impressively. However, she is a little naive in business dealings as she doesn't suspect Gaston's sudden shift of decision of buying her villa. If she would have been a little more clever, she could have sold the villa at a higher price.
Character of Gaston
Gaston was a street-smart, clever, pragmatical Frenchman, who knew the art of seizing any opportunity that came his way. He had very well-defined approach to life. As he entered the villa on his wife's request, to just see it, he categorically told her he would not buy it. However, when Jeanne was having a look at the first floor of the villa, Mrs Al smith, the conceited American lady who considered the French to be an inferior race, was outsmarted by insightful Gaston. Not only he managed to buy the villa for the sake of his wife's happiness, but also succeeded in securing a huge profit out of the deal for himself. He was very smart indeed!
Mrs. Al Smith
Mrs. Al Smith was American woman who appears to be always in hurry. She haphazardly enters the villa with a hope to buy it quickly, and in her haste makes many mistakes. She is an impatient woman who wants the possession of the things she likes at any cost. In her hurry she mistakes Gaston for the owner's husband, and Gaston very cleverly seizes the opportunity of striking a profitable deal with her. Though she appears to be quite affluent, but her common sense is quite poor. She is outsmarted by a French about whom she is so critical!
