Reader’s Response to Pinocchio


While developing his plot, Collodi seeks to engage the reader in his story by inflaming certain

passions that help reinforce the moral of the story. When you tell a story to a broad audience,

there are likely to be indifferent interpretations and perceptions of the underlying message. As a

result, the response to the story depends on whether the reader in question is actual, intended,

ideal, or resisting. The primary focus here is the perception of the ideal reader to the

development of the story in line with the moral lesson that the author intends to convey. An ideal

reader, in this case, is one who sympathizes with the unsuspecting protagonist but understands

that he needs to learn his lesson so as not to fall for the same kind of tribulations that that ensue.


In the opening scenes of his book, Collodi presents Pinocchio as a typical boy who is

mischievous, rude, and unapologetic. “No sooner was it finished than it began to laugh and poke

fun at him” (Collodi, Chapter 3). As illustrated in this passage, ‘him’ refers to Geppeto the wood

carver. Pinocchio immediately pulled down Geppeto’s wig and when asked to stop, the puppet

laughed and placed it on his own head, which angers the sculptor. “Pinocchio, you wicked boy!”

Geppeto rebuked the boy saying that he should be nicer to his poor old father. Likewise,

immediately after being talk how to talk, the puppet runs away into the woods much to the

dismay of his father.
