Gunther in "Men Under Water" is the landlord of several properties and a would-be playwright, who is very ambitious and employs the narrator not only as a handyman but also as a writing assistant. Though Gunther seems to be generally good-hearted, he also has a very cheap and ambitious streak that disturb the narrator.
