Blunt is a foolish English country gentleman who gets duped by Lucetta, a Spanish whore. Initially, Blunt is the most well-off financially of all the Englishmen (Belvile, Frederick, Willmore); by the end of the play he has lost all of his possessions, right down to his underwear. Throughout the play, Blunt makes obvious the fact that he is an outsider with his attention-grabbing behavior-- he eventually suffers the consequences of this behavior, as he is preyed upon by a practiced tease and thief. It becomes apparent throughout the course of the play that Blunt is a naive and shortsighted character with irrational motives and cruel intentions.
