P. Gerald cheats on Sheila with Eva.
E. "But you're forgetting I'm supposed to be engaged to the hero of it. Go on Gerald. You went down into the bar, which is a favorite haunt of women of the town."
A. Calling Gerald a 'Hero' suggests that Sheila is mocking him and that she isn't acting like a women at that time should; which is keeping quiet about the issue. The word 'hero' means a person, typically man, who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities. This means that Sheila is speaking out loud sarcastically on how Gerald should be praised on how he went to see the 'women of the town'. She also encourages Gerald when she says 'go on', this could mean that Sheila generally wants to known what happened or it could mean that Sheila wants to hear how Gerald will excuse himself for going to a place which is full of prostitutes. Also, the word 'haunt' is typically used when to describe a ghost which frequently visits a place, this would hint that maybe Gerald visited places like this regularly or that men see these women as less important because of their lack of class.
L. Priestly portrays Gerald as an liar who only works for his benefit; this makes him an unsympathetic character. Also Priestly in a way uses Gerald as an example of how men treated women overall and how this makes him a important character that the audience should pay attention to and learn from.
