and reason,
In Chapter XIV the reader learns that Pinocchio does not take the ways
of the world as a given. When the judge puts him in
prison for being robbed,
the puppet is “dumbfounded” -- he knows that this is not
true justice. In order to be set free, Pinocchio reasons with the jailer.
If all rogues are to be set free then so should Pinocchio since, as
he says, “I’m a rogue too.”
(back to legs)
and honesty&integrity,
In Chapter XXII, not only does Pinocchio refuse to comply with the martens
to rob the peasant of his hens, doesn’t
denigrade Melampus’ reputation. Wise, no?.
and a fear of death,
When the dog Alidoro saves Pinocchio from being fried in the fisherman’s
frying pan in Chapter XXIV, Pinocchio expresses his
fear of death.
