**Title: The Intricacies of Life and Will**

Life is a complex tapestry of events, often beyond our control.

As the quote states, "But, I tell you, if one is born and one dies! To be born, Monsignor: did you want to be born? I did not." Birth is an event that occurs without our consent. We enter this world not by our own choosing.

And then, between birth and death, a myriad of things happen. Many of these are things that we all wish had not occurred. We find ourselves in situations that are less than ideal, facing challenges and hardships that we would rather avoid.

Yet, despite our reluctance, we often have to resign ourselves to these circumstances. We learn to adapt and move forward, even when the going gets tough.

This highlights the powerlessness we sometimes feel in the face of life's events. But it also shows our resilience and ability to persevere.

We may not be able to control everything that happens to us, but we can choose how we respond. We can either let the difficulties break us or use them as opportunities for growth and learning.

So, while life may throw us curveballs, we have the strength within us to face them and come out stronger on the other side.

\\n  "But, I tell you, if one is born and one dies! To be born, Monsignor: did you want to be born? I did not. And between one case and the other, both independent of our will, so many things happen which all of us wish had not happened and to which we resign ourselves reluctantly."\\n

Theatre within the theatre (a play consisting of three acts) where delirium is at its peak, with a good dose of trickery.

It is a sharp comedy that highlights the disconcerted actors in the face of the true-false madness of the main character, and the same goes for the reader who finds himself with a first act led in a comic and grating tone, giving way without transition to the tragedy that greatly marks the next two.

A play in which Pirandello skillfully coagulates two planes of existence: the real world and the imagined world. This unique combination creates a captivating and thought-provoking theatrical experience. The audience is drawn into a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred, and they are left to question the nature of truth and illusion. Pirandello's masterful use of language and his ability to create complex and engaging characters make this play a true masterpiece of modern theatre.

Letto (or reread? I have a real memory gap) on the occasion of tonight's Theatrical show. Pirandello delights the reader's mind with these dry and complex dialogues that enrich with philosophy a story that is very simple at the level of "plot". Pure manna for the mind.

Pirandello's works are truly a treasure trove for those who appreciate deep and thought-provoking literature. His use of language and his ability to create complex characters and situations make his plays and stories a joy to read.

The dialogues in his works are not only intellectually stimulating but also have a certain charm and wit. They make the reader think about life, relationships, and the nature of reality.

In tonight's theatrical show, I am sure that the actors will bring Pirandello's words to life and make the audience experience the full beauty and depth of his works. I can't wait to see the performance and be inspired once again by Pirandello's genius.

Bello bello bello. This simple yet charming phrase seems to carry a certain allure.

It can be used to express admiration, excitement, or simply to add a touch of playfulness to a conversation.

The repetition of the word "bello" emphasizes its meaning and creates a rhythm that is both pleasing to the ear and memorable.

Whether used in Italian or adopted into other languages, "bello bello bello" has the power to convey a positive and enthusiastic attitude.

It can be used to describe a beautiful object, a wonderful experience, or a person with an attractive personality.

So the next time you want to express your appreciation or excitement, don't be afraid to say "bello bello bello" and let the world know how you feel.

We are all mad in here. This statement holds a certain truth, doesn't it? In this crazy world, we all have our moments of madness. Maybe it's the stress of work that drives us to the brink, or the chaos of life that makes us lose our minds. But that's what makes us human. We all have our quirks and idiosyncrasies, our moments of insanity. And it's in these moments that we often find our true selves. When we let go of the constraints of society and embrace our madness, we can be free. We can express ourselves in ways we never thought possible. So, the next time you feel a little crazy, don't fight it. Embrace it. Because in this madness, there is beauty and there is freedom.

The horror of feeling oneself living damned is an overwhelming and terrifying experience.

It can consume a person's thoughts and emotions, leaving them in a state of constant dread and despair.

The weight of this feeling can be so heavy that it seems impossible to bear.

It may cause one to question the meaning and purpose of their existence, and wonder if there is any hope for a better future.

The horror of living damned can manifest in many different ways, such as through feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness.

It can also lead to physical symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression.

Coping with this kind of horror requires great strength and courage, as well as the support and understanding of others.

It is important to reach out for help and not to suffer in silence.

With the right resources and support, it is possible to find a way out of the darkness and begin to heal.

Illusion and reality are two distinct concepts that often intertwine in our perception.

Illusion refers to something that appears to be real but is actually false or deceptive. It can play tricks on our senses and make us believe in things that don't truly exist.

Reality, on the other hand, is the actual state of things, the objective truth that exists independent of our perception.

The author's childhood experience of believing the moon in the pond was real is a prime example of how illusion can influence our beliefs. As children, we are often more gullible and prone to accepting what we are told without question.

This innocence and trust can lead us to believe in many illusions, but it also brings us a sense of happiness and wonder.

However, as we grow older, we learn to distinguish between illusion and reality and become more critical thinkers.

We realize that not everything we see or hear is true and that we need to use our own judgment and reasoning to understand the world around us.

// 3.5 stars //


This was pleasantly good, and to be honest, I found myself enjoying it far more than I initially anticipated. The plot was truly genius. Despite not being overly long, each and every character was extremely well-developed. Their feelings seemed so reliable and genuine, making it easy for the reader to connect with them on a deeper level.


Nonetheless, the beginning of the play was a bit on the slow side. It took some time for the story to really pick up momentum and draw me in fully. Additionally, I didn't quite understand the ending. I felt that it was a little bit off in terms of tone when compared to the rest of the play. It seemed a bit disjointed and left me with some lingering questions.


Still, all in all, this was a really nice read. If you're someone who wants to start delving into the world of plays, I would highly recommend giving this one a try. It has its flaws, but the overall experience is well worth it.

The play "Henry IV" by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello.


In this play, Pirandello presents his ideas about madness and consciousness, and the perception of life in them through the events that occur, and in a dramatic style where intellectual discussion is inseparable from the drama.


The play tells the story of a group of friends from high society in Italy who had agreed to hold a fancy dress party, and they prepared well for it, and agreed that each person would play a character from the personalities who lived during the time of Henry IV, the German emperor in the 11th century.


During the course of this masquerade, the person playing the role of Henry IV falls from his horse and goes mad as a result of this incident, and believes that he is actually Henry IV. His sister takes pity on him and builds a villa for him in the style of Henry IV's castle, and hires some people to play the roles of Henry IV's attendants, guards, and servants.


After several years of madness, this person recovers from his madness and realizes that he has lived for a long time in this state. He decides that it is better for him to remain as he is and continue to play the role of Henry IV because he is afraid to face society and be labeled as mad. Also, what he has seen of the betrayal of his friends and the love of the woman he loves, Matilda Skerina, who married his rival in love, Tito Beccherelli, who was the cause of his fall from his horse during that fancy dress party because he had humiliated his horse from behind, so he turned on him and he fell.


The sister of that person had instructed her son Carlo Dainoli to take care of his uncle after her death. Therefore, he continued to spend on him and on the people who played the roles of Henry IV's attendants, guards, and servants.


Because of Carlo Dainoli's desire to cure his uncle of his madness - and he did not know that he had actually been cured and that he was continuing to play the role of Henry IV out of his own will - he brings to his castle a doctor and his former lover Matilda Skerina and her lover Beccherelli, and Frieda, Matilda's daughter, who is also Carlo Dainoli's fiancée at the same time.


They appear before him wearing old clothes suitable for the era of Henry IV, playing the characters of that era. The person who has taken on the personality of Henry IV in the play confronts them, and with some of his remarks, he reveals their illusions and shows their true nature, especially his betrayer friend Tito Beccherelli and his former lover Matilda.


During the implementation of the plan that the doctor advised them, in which Frieda appears, who looks like her mother when she was young, as if she is Henry IV's wife - that person reveals the illusion that he had been hiding behind, and they realize that he has been cured of his madness, and he confronts Beccherelli with his betrayal.


Then that person deliberately puts on the guise of madness again and attacks Frieda, saying that she is his wife, as compensation for the years he has lived isolated from the world in that castle. The people present try to protect Frieda from him, and Tito Beccherelli is injured by that person during this. Everyone thinks that he is still mad except Beccherelli, who suspects that he is not mad and that he is aware of everything he is doing.

I was promised an Italian Hamlet.

I was truly excited at the prospect of experiencing this unique interpretation of the classic play.

I had imagined the beautiful Italian language bringing a new flavor to the tragic story, with passionate performances and a touch of Mediterranean charm.

However, when I finally received whatever it was that I got, it was not at all what I had expected.

It seemed to lack the essence and authenticity that I had anticipated.

The language might have been Italian, but the spirit of Hamlet was somehow lost in translation.

I was left feeling disappointed and wondering where it all went wrong.

Maybe it was a case of miscommunication or a failed attempt to capture the true essence of the play.

Nevertheless, I can't help but feel that I was cheated out of the Italian Hamlet that I had been promised.

I know very well that that cannot be me, because I am Henry IV. I, here, for twenty years, you understand? Fixed in this eternity of a mask! She has lived them, she has enjoyed them, these twenty years, to become such that I can no longer recognize her.

Luigi, explain life to me, I love you.

Henry IV seems to be in a state of confusion and self-reflection. He is certain that he is Henry IV and has been trapped in this identity for twenty years, behind a mask. He laments that the person he is addressing has changed so much over those years that he can no longer recognize her.

The plea to Luigi to explain life and the declaration of love add an element of vulnerability and a search for meaning. It shows that despite his seemingly fixed identity as Henry IV, he still has a longing for understanding and connection.

Overall, this passage presents a complex and emotional picture of a man grappling with his identity, the passage of time, and his relationships.
