Valentine Xavier is a wandering singer and musician of about thirty who is described in the stage directions as having a wild beauty about him. He wears a snakeskin jacket, mottled white, black, and gray. In the bars of New Orleans where he sang and lived wildly, he was known simply as Snake-skin. Val always carries a guitar with him, and he describes it as his "life's companion." Music saves him whenever he gets into a bad situation. The guitar itself is covered with the autographs of famous blues singers. Val is a free spirit who does not fit into conventional society, and it is significant that the Choctaw cry given by the Conjure Man, a cry of wild intensity, coincides with Val's first entrance.

Val was raised in a place called Witches' Bayou, and he claims to have unusual powers of self-control. He can hold his breath for three minutes, stay awake for forty-eight hours, and not urinate for a day. He also claims that his body temperature is two degrees higher than normal, like a dog's. He left Witches' Bayou when he was in his teens and drifted to New Orleans, where he soon found that women were irresistibly drawn to him, but he eventually tired of their attentions and of the dissipated life he was leading.

Val is basically a good-hearted man who has insight into the deeper longings of life. He can sense what others really need and desire, and he knows how to give comfort when it is needed. He himself says that although he has lived among corruption (in New Orleans), he is not corrupted. In Two River County, however, people find his manner sexually suggestive, although he does nothing deliberately to cultivate this impression. However, because he is an artistic spirit who does not fit into the accepted ways of thought and action, and because he allows himself to be drawn into an affair with Lady Torrance, he is hunted down by the men of the town

Val是特立独行而英俊不羁的青年，去到哪里都要带着他的吉他。十来岁的时候他便只身前往新奥尔良闯荡，女人们都会情不自禁地倾情于他。及至后来他对放浪形骸的生活感到厌倦，决心抛弃过去来到了南部的Two River County。他身上散发的魅力和桀骜不驯，与南部保守传统的作风格格不入。他在这里与Lady Torrance发生的故事，也使他陷入被当地的男人排挤的边缘。

特立独行、英俊不羁、吉他、女人们会情不自禁倾情于他、桀骜不驯、放浪形骸。。。看看对这部戏剧的男主角的形容吧！我想不出来除了G，还有谁更适合来出演！

而且，50年代的电影版竟然是马龙白兰度演的！OMG!看 ...
