L'esclusa

by: Luigi Pirandello
Primo romanzo di Pirandello, "L'esclusa" vive ancora di una sensibilità naturalistica, ma permeata da un gusto del derisorio e del grottesco che avrà importanti sviluppi nella narrativa e nel teatro successivi. La vicenda di Marta, sposa ripudiata per un sospetto di adulterio e perdonata quando l'adulterio viene realmente consumato è, secondo i propositi dell'autore, pretesto per sfiorare il tragico "mantenendo gli occhi asciutti dell'umorista". Il gioco ambiguo del paradosso, cifra peculiare della "filosofia" pirandelliana, istituisce una circolarità che tende a negare il percorso normale e, ingannando le aspettative del lettore, riconduce la storia al suo inizio: come se nulla fosse successo.

Six Characters in Search of an Author. Translated by Edward Storer

by: Luigi Pirandello, Edward Storer
SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR, sums up Pirandello's philosophy of drama. If in the other plays the author turns his searching rays on the life of the world, in SIX CHARACTERS, Pirandello's playwirght's masterpiece, the process is reversed, and we gaze into the world of the actor, behind the brilliantly lighted stage, into the dingy dark spaces where work the wire-pullers for the puppets. No more striking attempt has ever been made to show the successive steps in the evolution of a character from the moment it leaves the author's brain until it expresses itself on the stage for the public in the crowded auditorium.
