How does the writer present Peter Quint?

Quint was the gentleman in Harley Street's valet. Because he was ill, he was left in charge at Bly, where he would sometimes wear the master's clothes. He had curly red hair, red whiskers, sharp black eyes, and appeared handsome, but untrustworthy. When alive, Quint was a "hound" and had affairs with a number of women, including Miss Jessel, a woman above his station. He died by slipping on an icy path when drunk. As a ghost or possibly a hallucination, Quint appears to the governess and seems to want Miles's soul. Quint may also be a representation of the nineteenth-century stereotype of the sexually predatory male.
