exile of the soul in the children's story The Adventures of Pinocchio
Main Article Content
Abstract
In The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) one of the fundamental sacred stories reappears: Carlo Collodi presents the theme of the exile of paradise and the vicissitudes to recover it. The text combines the form of the myth with rigor and clarity along with the simplicity and humor of the children's story. We read the book in relation to Paul Ricœur's theory of the symbol, particularly with the methodological support of Finitud y culpabilidad (1960) and the first presentation of the symbols of evil, as indirect discourse. The mythical exposition of the problem of a religious and philosophical nature brings into play the question of identity; the presence of evil requires personal definition. We relate the journey of the protagonist's soul to the course of national history and consider the answer in parallel; the symbols of evil originally interpellate to order the course of personal and historical life.
