He was fundamentally too much a man of strong convictions to be
correctly described as open-minded.
He was too much a man, and too much an unusual type of man.
But he was too much a man of appetites, too painterly, not to
recognize the value,both sensual and moral, of a gesture.
In the above three sentences, does 'much' function as a determiner or
an adverb?
