Character Role Analysis

Honoré Lachaille

As narrator, Honoré straight-up tells the who, what, and where of the story. Periodically, he turns to the camera to explain himself, like when he sings about how's he really glad he doesn't have to deal with the messy romances of youth now that he's older. We're not sure he's a totally essential "informational tool," but he does give us some useful cultural context for understanding the story of Gigi and Gaston. What he can tell is is limited by the producers' concerns about the production code, but we can read between the lines.
