Answer:

He is rather self-righteous.

He considers himself to be a role model to others.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gualtiere thinks of himself as a role model to other people, he perceives himself a superior to the average people, and he is very self-rightous, as we can read in this "for I wished to show you how to be a wife, to teach these people how to choose and keep a wife", he thinks that hsi actions were justified by the fact that he thinks everything he was doing was right and was to the greater good, to teach people to have te correct wife, it is often that self-righteous people think highly of themselves and justify all of their actions because it´s for the good of the people, even if they are wrong.
