![]() ![]() He brings her treats and stories about his life, but he's really the only friend she has. She does have Gaston to play with, so she's doubly excited when he visits. She's isolated because all her schoolmate's parents are probably respectable married folks who probably don't want their daughters to hang out with the children of courtesans. GIGI: What about us? Aren't we ordinary people? Why are we different? AUNT ALICIA: They have weak heads and careless bodies. You'd only be invited by ordinary people. GIGI: Why does grandmama stop me from accepting invitations? AUNT ALICIA: She's right for once. Or is she?ĭuring her courtesan lessons with Aunt Alicia, there's this little exchange:ĪUNT ALICIA: What friends have you made? GIGI: None. She seems totally oblivious to what her future's supposed to hold. She adores him, too, but there's no hint that she sees him as anything but an older brother, fun to hang out with but a little ridiculous with all his parties and girlfriends. He treats Gigi like his little sister, clowning around with her and playfully threatening to spank her when she gets snippy.

Stop with the nonsense! Gigi finds it all a colossal waste of time. When her aunt tries to teach her to be graceful and womanly, she's just the opposite: she drops the coffeepot, gulps wine, and breaks cigars. GIGI: You would think it would embarrass/all the people here in Paris/to be thinking every minute of love! She's totally uninterested in love and thinks it's hilarious and confusing that it's all grownups think about. She bounces around in the park, cuts class, doesn't care how she dresses, laughs all the time, and giggles in the surf with Gaston.

Gigi's not the greatest student she can't see the point in all these silly pretensions. ![]() Tutored every Tuesday in womanly ways by her Aunt Alicia, an aging shut-in glamazon, Gigi crunches through bird bones at dinner, learns how to properly pour coffee and evaluate cigars, and discovers why very rich men don't give expensive jewelry just to impress. ![]() She'll be expected to provide sexual services, although that's not made too explicit to her. She has to be schooled in the ways of polite society, so she can be a rich man's companion and be seen in all the right places. ![]() She's being trained to be a courtesan-the mistress of a wealthy man, or a series of wealthy men, most likely. Unfortunately for Gigi, her future is being engineered for her by her aunt and grandmother. When we meet her, she's like any young schoolgirl, holding onto the fun, carefree parts of kid-hood and not thinking much about her future.
