Il berretto a sonagli

Di Luigi Pirandello

Il berretto a sonagli è uno dei principali drammi teatrali di Pirandello nel quale egli rappresenta i due temi centrali della sua poetica: la maschera e la pazzia.
Un marito tradito obbliga la donna che l’ha denunciato a fingersi pazza, avendogli essa col suo gesto strappatogli di dosso la maschera dell’ignoranza con la quale poteva mantenere la sua rispettabilità sociale.
“Abbiamo tutti come tre corde d’orologio in testa. La seria, la civile, la pazza. Sopra tutto, dovendo vivere in società, ci serve la civile; per cui sta qua, in mezzo alla fronte. Ci mangeremmo tutti, signora mia, l’un l’altro, come tanti cani arrabbiati. Non si può. Io mi mangerei – per modo d’esempio – il signor Fifì. Non si può. E che faccio allora? Do una giratina così alla corda civile e gli vado innanzi con cera sorridente, la mano protesa: «Oh quanto m’è grato vedervi, caro il mio signor Fifì!». Capisce, signora? Ma può venire il momento che le acque s’intorbidano. E allora… allora io cerco, prima, di girare qua la corda seria, per chiarire, rimettere le cose a posto, dare le mie ragioni, dire quattro e quattr’otto, senza tante storie, quello che devo. Che se poi non mi riesce in nessun modo, sferro, signora, la corda pazza, perdo la vista degli occhi e non so più quello che faccio!”

Luigi Pirandello

Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936) was an Italian playwright, novelist, and poet. Born to a wealthy Sicilian family in the village of Cobh, Pirandello was raised in a household dedicated to the Garibaldian cause of Risorgimento. Educated at home as a child, he wrote his first tragedy at twelve before entering high school in Palermo, where he excelled in his studies and read the poets of nineteenth century Italy. After a tumultuous period at the University of Rome, Pirandello transferred to Bonn, where he immersed himself in the works of the German romantics. He began publishing his poems, plays, novels, and stories in earnest, appearing in some of Italy’s leading literary magazines and having his works staged in Rome. Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921), an experimental absurdist drama, was viciously opposed by an outraged audience on its opening night, but has since been recognized as an essential text of Italian modernist literature. During this time, Pirandello was struggling to care for his wife Antonietta, whose deteriorating mental health forced him to place her in an asylum by 1919. In 1924, Pirandello joined the National Fascist Party, and was soon aided by Mussolini in becoming the owner and director of the Teatro d’Arte di Roma. Although his identity as a Fascist was always tenuous, he never outright abandoned the party. Despite this, he maintained the admiration of readers and critics worldwide, and was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize for Literature.
