THE TRUE STORY OF PINOCCHIO

"THE TRUE STORY OF PINOCCHIO"
(author unknown)

Did you know that the boy who was made out of wood was lying, not for the need of it? In the original story from the late 19th century, Pinocchio used lying for his own benefit.

Contrary to his lovable behaviour in our Disney favourites, the real Marionette was quite the opposite. Unlike in the Disney movie, he lacks a human conscience. He was ungrateful to his creator and abused him through his soul, as he dreamt of traveling the world through him but was thrown aboard. He ignores the blue fairy’s advice and kills the talking cricket, who just wants him to be good.

The price he paid for his misbehaviour as he went on was cruel and inhumane. His feet were burned, he was kidnapped, starved, and almost fried, and he was almost murdered when he was hanged on a tree. But no matter what he does, he never learns his lesson. The puppet went on his merry way and continued to lie for himself.

The story has undergone many adaptations as the years go by, one of which was Disney’s Pinocchio in 1940. The story was manipulated and turned Pinocchio’s attitude upside down. He was naïve and wanted to be a real boy, but not at the expense of others. He was embodied by the cricket he killed in the original, and he has a conscience. But one thing is for sure, Pinocchio is a story that tells children to behave or else.
