In this comedy in one act by Paul Hervieu, the dialogue between Jacques and Henriette reveals that Jacques is B. The romantic villain.

While it could be argued that he is the rejected suitor, after being rejected by Henriette in the first half of the play, when she leaves to answer the phone we see that he decides that he must conquer her no matter how. He plots how to get rid of Alberto and lies to him to ruin his chances with Henriette. At the end of the play, Jacques plan has worked and he wins Henriette's favour.

In line 27, the word audacity helps the reader understand that C. Henriette is a weak woman whos easily hurt. This is how Jacques sees Henriette, as a delicate woman, according to the ideas of romantic love. He thinks that even if she says that she wishes to be scolded, she would not stand it and would react against the man that would try to scold her. This is further seen when she feels insulted by Albert and reacts strongly against him saying that  "You have wounded me."

The playwright uses irony throughout the play to hint D. Henriette doesn't know what qualities wants in a husband. The fact that at the end of the play Henriette appreciates the same behaviours for which she had previously rejected Jacques shows that she may not know what qualities she really wants. When she is faced by the qualities she had desired, she feels hurt and insults Albert.

the answer is not b, and i don't think its a, so i choose either man's identity is found within the traditions of his ancestors   or language is a powerful tool, tell me if i was wrong or right by the way
