Aba
I think fiction in one way or other relates to factual happenings just like how great stories are born and literature is created to become masterpieces. They rely on the factual emotions of the actors involved and wound by fiction through real life episodes.

Couldn't help but quote your "creation of the author's brain". Human brains and all they do, and can do are so fascinating. Even here in a basically small setting everything we read is a creation of someone's brain, coming from different places, settings and learning.

Re: Re: Re: Aba
A good number of playwrights evolved in that Theatre of the Absurd peroid. They are studies in broken phrases and symbolisms.

Fascinating ... this good work needs careful reading. As others have said,
I must come back with substantive comments. I love it ... nothing's new, really, as men, women, writers get creative. There is only one source. The Books of Judges & Hosea shows marriages of the kind you mention from Luigi. God makes a didactic point, even when He told the pure Prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute, have children, and re-marry her after Homer backslides, and does prostitution after her marriage to Hosea! Is it how we treat a pure LORD God and His marriage to us?

Art and Life do sometimes converge, overlap and coalesce.
Sort of where my thinking in my post today was trending, but I do not have your eloquence of words. Life is wonderful. Always one can learn and grow and sometimes it is difficult to let go of an ideal.
In Australia I grew up and was instilled with the wonder of the British Empire..."the sun never sets on the Empire my dear."Then one travels, and can adore the English countryside and all that of my heritage that says yes I know this...but also travel to parts other areas of the world. Places where the empire never touched and also where it once was. Confusion enters one's senses. Gradually one learns to be happy to be part of the Commonwealth but hold dismay of so much history. i am studying the plight of the Jewish people from the time of Constantine in Rome through to today. I will never understand.

Re: Re: Aba
Yes, the Theater of the Absurd; it can be unsettling to me! Although, I didn't mind 'Waiting for Godot," but I think I got restless about half-way through, though it was so long ago, perhaps not. :) I didn't realize that about the possibility of the acronym and its meaning. Thank you, dear Aba!

It looks like the characters together make for great art.

Re: Aba
Thank you so very much Presta ma'am. Your observation, hopelessness and futility, often overriding reality is frequent in Pirandello, and that is why they are relegated into the category of the Absurd. The time of transition from chaos to offer, especially after the ravages of war left people of the time distraught, confused, uncertain, fearful about their future. So, you will find on those writers lack of anything elevating. Faith and religion, one other aspect the people started doubting, as in Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'. 'Godot could mean God of Old Testamant, who never comes, despite his promising to, to the two tramps who just wait and believes on his words.

Ah, Aba, you have done it again! Quite masterfully discussing art of art! I love it! However, on a personal level, this particular play is disturbing, rather than entertaining, as is some reality. Here, the sense of hopelessness and futile reality override the comfort of generally traditional fiction, which is, I suppose, a nod to the successful mastery of Pirandello's work here. I have seen art imitate life, and it is often disturbing. And some of the most disturbing life instances can transform into the best of "art" forms. Very well done, indeed, dear Aba!
