I am interested in the time of the
creation of the puppet and the passage of his death. Pinocchio comes alive
while the carpenter Geppetto is carving him in his workshop. When we speak of
an end, some people have wanted to see his death as a punishment for "his
many faults." Others explain that Pinocchio was not hanged for his
"numerous failures" but what happened is that two swindlers, the fox
and the cat, tried by all means to steal the gold coins to the child, until at
last they catch him and decide to hang him in a large oak. Fortunately for the
children, later versions have been less dramatic.
"The right way is
reached through knowledge and wisdom. What had been a log of wood and then a
puppet, he finally became a real person, after overcoming adversity presented
to him." Say that Collodi was a Mason, and that he could pretend, through
the story of Pinocchio, make an allegory about the formation of people based on
honor, truth and virtue.
