If man is a fly, then why did I, a silly little fly, have to go through this #muscainjustice?

It seems so unfair. I just want to live my life as a fly, buzzing around, looking for food and a place to rest. But no, there are always these challenges and difficulties that come my way.

Maybe it's because I'm so small and insignificant compared to humans. They don't even notice me most of the time, but when they do, it's usually not in a good way.

I get swatted at, sprayed with pesticides, and chased away. It's like I have no right to exist.

But I'm just a fly. I have my own purpose in this world, even if it's not as grand as a human's. I play a role in the ecosystem, helping to decompose organic matter and provide food for other animals.

So why can't humans just leave me alone and let me live my life in peace? #muscainjustice

This is my favorite comedy among those I have read.

It is the comedy that brings to the extreme consequences the conflict between man and character.

The choice of a man to become a historical character to escape the unknown of what the future holds for him, in favor of a farce in which he voluntarily locks himself in, but which will become his prison when he decides, out of fear, not to face the consequences of his actions and his inability to live within society.

This comedy explores the themes of identity,逃避, and the price we pay for trying to avoid reality.

It makes us question whether it is better to face our fears and uncertainties head-on or to hide behind a false persona.

Overall, it is a thought-provoking and entertaining work that I highly recommend.

This tragedy didn't please me.

Although it is short, I found it boring, not very attractive, and lacking in plot.

Pirandello has written better works.

The story seemed to lack depth and excitement. It failed to engage my interest from the start.

The characters were not well-developed, and the events unfolded in a rather predictable manner.

I expected more from a work by Pirandello, especially considering his reputation as a great writer.

Perhaps this particular tragedy was not his best effort.

Nevertheless, it still provides some insights into his writing style and themes.

Overall, I was disappointed with this piece and would not recommend it to others.

However, I would encourage readers to explore his other works to get a better sense of his true talent.

On February 13, 2018, at the Carignano Theatre in Turin, Carlo Cecchi presented his adaptation, direction, and starring role in a production. The cast included Angelica Ippolito as the Marchesa Matilde Spina, Chiara Mancuso as her daughter Frida, Remo Stella as the Marchese Carlo Di Nolli, Roberto Trifirò as the Baron Tito Belcredi, Gigio Morra as Dr. Dionisio Genoni, Federico Brugnone, Matteo Lai, Dario Iubatti, and Davide Giordano as the four servants-turned-secret advisors of Enrico IV.

Nearly a century after Pirandello's great theatrical success (in 1921 before "Six Characters in Search of an Author" and in 1922 of "Enrico IV" in Milan with Ruggiero Ruggeri), Carlo Cecchi staged his "Enrico IV" which, in a sense, is also a "Six Characters." He added to the drama of identity, the mask, and the thin line between true or presumed madness and social normality, a strong sense of theatre within the theatre and on the theatre, especially regarding the actor. In short, from "cerebral commotion" to "theatrical vocation" as Enrico IV-Cecchi clearly states at one point.

However, the declared intention of "translating" Pirandello's language into a more contemporary theatrical language only works halfway. Sometimes the text is almost "televised," with easy lines and cliched winks. Nevertheless, it is always beautiful to see Cecchi, even when he pushes the encounter between farce and tragedy to the point of staging almost a parody of himself.

One of the most progressive writers of the 20th century, Luigi Pirandello, had a wonderful revolutionary perspective on humanity and history.

Luigi Pirandello is one of the pioneers of modern drama and contemporary literature in the world. On every page and scene of his works, there is a new look and word that, even after seventy or eighty years, has not lost its importance. Unfortunately, after the dedicated month of Bahman when several of Pirandello's works were translated into Persian in the 1940s, not many of his works have come into Persian. Among the short stories, twenty stories translated by Mrs. Zahra Khanlari Kia were published in 1935 by the Institute for Translation and Book Publishing, and "The House of Lies", "Far Away", "The Dead Woman and the Living Woman", "The Little Church", and "Poor That Deceased One" are among them. Several of his short stories were also translated by P. Beharlu and published in the book "Week" in 1941. A story of his was translated by Ahmad Golshiri and published in two volumes as "Story and Criticism of Story". The play "Tonight We Improvise" was also translated into Persian and performed, but as a book, I don't remember it.

Pirandello's works offer deep insights into the human condition and the nature of reality, challenging the traditional norms and expectations of society. His unique style and innovative approach continue to inspire and influence writers and artists around the world.

It is a pity that more of his works have not been translated into Persian, as they would surely enrich the Persian literary landscape and provide readers with a broader perspective on the world of literature.

Perhaps in the future, more efforts will be made to translate and introduce Pirandello's works to a wider Persian-speaking audience, allowing them to discover the genius of this remarkable writer.

Here is exactly what I was saying.

I don't have the strength to do a critical analysis. I've had enough when I did it for school. However, rereading it 3 years later (maybe this time not on a tiny screen on the beach, dying from the heat) was a really good idea because, wow, honestly. Anyway, plays by Pirandello >>>> novels. I don't accept other opinions.

Sometimes, going back to something we read in the past can bring unexpected insights. In this case, the person initially didn't have the energy for a critical analysis due to previous experiences in school. But the decision to reread Pirandello's work after 3 years turned out to be a great one. Maybe the change in environment and the passage of time allowed for a fresh perspective.

The comparison between Pirandello's plays and novels is quite bold, with the person firmly stating their preference for the plays. It shows a deep appreciation for Pirandello's dramatic works and a lack of interest in his novels. This kind of strong opinion can lead to interesting discussions and debates among literature enthusiasts.

Overall, this short piece highlights the power of rereading and the importance of having personal preferences when it comes to literature.

An opera with an interesting theme - the representation of oneself, the relationship between reality and fiction, and so on - unfortunately not explored in depth as much as it could have been.

Henry IV is sketched in a way that gives the impression of a slight madness, but in the second part one also perceives its poignant lucidity.

In general, the dialogues are quite lively: the most stimulating parts are the exchanges between the protagonist and the counselors, while other conversations are less brilliant and more confused.

Probably it is more effective when seen on stage than when read. However, I think it has many unexpressed potentialities.

Pirandello was an enigmatic and idiosyncratic figure when it came to creating personality narrations. His works in theatrical post-modern genres are not only captivating but also often confounding. Henry IV is a fascinating masquerade that tells the story of an actor/protagonist who goes insane after being knocked off his horse. The actor then wanders in a deluded world, embodying the persona of Henry IV for over twelve years. He chooses to live in his castle with his private counselors, much like the real Henry IV of Germany. The entire play revolves around other characters trying to unmask his assumed identity and reveal the truth behind the calamity.

Who are we? Why are we afraid of madmen? These questions are central to Pirandello's idea of existential artistry. Henry IV claims that he is not mad and questions why the world fears "madmen." Pirandello asserts that madness speaks the truth and exposes the authenticity that a conscious mind hides behind the façade of society. I'm not sure how genuine the actor playing Henry IV is in his actions, but I do agree with Pirandello. As rational beings, we carefully plan our actions and monitor our words to avoid inadvertent buffoonery. For example, people often call me a crazy bitch when my foul mouth gets the better of my manners. But am I really a mad woman, or is it just that my polite mask slips at the wrong moment?

The book was initially quite puzzling until I understood the underlying dramatics. Pirandello's previous work, Six Characters in Search of an Author and Other Plays, explored similar themes of illusionary realism in theatre but later contradicted the idea of the immutability of characters. Here, he tries to convey to the audience that stage "reality" can be more authentic in the real world. In contrast, in 'Six Characters...' he discussed the illusion of emotive reality, as its validity is corrupted by repetitive rehearsals. Nevertheless, both works confront the essence of reality, burdened by metaphorical chimeras, and give madness a therapeutic meaning.

E' davvero difficile commentare un testo teatrale che si presta a molte riflessioni. Pirandello riesce, con un colpo di penna (e probabilmente qualche bravo attore) a stravolgere i punti di vista. Entriamo nella storia pian piano, in punta di piedi e creiamo la nostra opinione, che viene immediatamente e inaspettatamente stravolta nell'atto successivo.

Non essendo una grande estimatrice dei testi teatrali dei quali, lo ammetto, preferisco vedere la rappresentazione, ritengo però che le opere di Pirandello debbano essere necessariamente lette. His works have a unique charm and depth that can only be fully appreciated through reading. The way he constructs his stories, the complex characters he creates, and the thought-provoking themes he explores all make his plays a must-read for anyone interested in theater or literature.

Moreover, reading Pirandello's works allows us to better understand his creative process and the ideas that inspired him. It gives us a glimpse into his mind and helps us to see the world from his perspective. So, even if you're not a big fan of reading plays, I would highly recommend giving Pirandello's works a try. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy them.

A madman who firmly believes himself to be Emperor Henry IV of the Holy Roman Empire has emerged.

Strangely enough, everyone around him plays along with this delusion.

They humor his every whim and act as if he truly is the emperor.

However, as time passes, it becomes evident that he may not be as mad as they initially thought.

Perhaps there is a method to his madness, or maybe he is simply lost in a world of his own creation.

Either way, his story is a fascinating one that leaves us wondering about the nature of sanity and the power of belief.

As we continue to observe this man, we may discover more about his true identity and the reasons behind his extraordinary delusion.

Only time will tell if he is truly a madman or if there is something more profound at work.

This, and not Six Characters, is my favorite play by Pirandello - hands down.

I won't write at length about it, as the plot is tricky and must be related in some detail.

If you like the idea of truth vs illusion, as George did and Martha didn't in a more recent play, you will be on the edge of your seat.

Whether you are at a performance (but it's a bitch to get right) or reading it (when you can imagine your own performance, often as much fun as seeing one!), this play will keep you engaged.

The way Pirandello explores the blurry line between what is real and what is not is truly fascinating.

It makes you question your own perception of the world and forces you to think deeply about the nature of truth and illusion.

I highly recommend this play to anyone who enjoys thought-provoking theater or literature.

It is a masterpiece that will stay with you long after you have finished experiencing it.
