Self-confessed cold-blooded murderer, Rigaud, is the villain of our story. He is by turns extremely charming and darkly menacing, whichever the situation demands. He is an opportunist who roams about Europe looking for innocent and unsuspecting victims to sink his teeth into - whether to rob, blackmail or cheat.

But he has a quality in common with Dorrit, and to a lesser extent with Merdle: he is obsessed with, totally strict about, and extremely serious in his pursuit of always acting and being seen as a gentleman.

Next to all the crimes he commits, it's his number one interest and concern. Now, to Blandois, being a gentleman generally means something a little different than to Dorrit or the other guys — in his case, it's about always being served by others and treating the ladies with off-putting charm and gallantry.

But still — why does he have this trait in common with the novel's other imposters? How are we meant to compare them? What makes them different from each other? Is there a sliding scale of poser morality?
