Question

How does gaston make a hundred thousand francs? Do you think his act is justified? Wht/why not?

Answer 1

Yes,it is justified.Gaston make hundred francs because he is working in villa studio.

Answer 2

While Juliette takes Jeanne to explore more of the villa, Juliette's maid brings Mrs Al Smith, a customer wanting to buy the villa, along with her. Mrs Al Smith, who mistakes Gaston to be the owner of the villa, asks him the price of the villa. Gaston trolls her for a while, and eventually, quotes the price as three hundred thousand francs. Thus, Gaston sells the villa to Mrs Al Smith for three hundred thousand francs and, subsequently, buys the villa for two hundred thousand francs, the price quoted by the original owner Jeanne, thus, making a profit of a hundred thousand francs. This act is certainly not justified as Gaston cheated Juliette, the original owner of the villa, who could have made a greater profit by selling her villa to Mrs Al Smith.
