What can make a savage person have a heart, and this heart has a soft emotion? What made this person look up at the night sky, shed tears, and cry? The affection of a woman with a ridiculous face.
A woman who is like a young animal has an innocent and innocent nature, so she is sensitive and always sad, otherwise she will be as rough as the man and can survive. She is childish again, and a bit of beauty will please her. She is not strong enough, and that little ability to feel joy can't help her resist the savage and cruelty. What if she is not crazy or dying?
Dialogue excerpt:
The Fool: What a funny face! Are you a woman, really? Or an artichoke?
Clown: What a funny face ! Are you a woman? Or an artichoke?
The Fool: Maybe he loves you?
Gelsomina: Me?
The Fool: Why not? He is like dogs. A dog looks at you, wants to talk, and only barks.
Clown: Maybe he loves you? (
Referring to Zambano ) Gersomina: Me?
Joker: Why not? He is like a dog. A dog looks at you and wants to talk, but can only bark.
The Fool: I am ignorant, but I read books. You won't believe it, everything is useful... this pebble for instance.
Gelsomina: Which one?
The Fool: Anyone. It is useful.
Gelsomina: What for?
The Fool: For... I don't know. If I knew I'd be the Almighty, who knows all. When you are born and when you die... Who knows? I don't know for what this pebble is useful but it must be useful. For if its useless, everything is useless. So are the stars!
Clown: I am nothing but I read. You won’t believe that everything is useful...like this little stone.
Gersomina: Which one?
Joker: Any piece is useful.
Gelsomina: How is it useful?
Joker: I don't know. If I know that I am the Almighty Lord, he knows everything. When will you be born and when will you die...who knows? I don't know what this stone can be used for, but it must be useful. Because if it is useless, everything is useless, even the stars.
