About this deal

Moscarda's close examination of the self (and the other(s)) is, of course, also an exercise in self-destruction. One, No One and One Hundred Thousand ( Italian: Uno, nessuno e centomila [ˈuːno nesˈsuːno e tˌtʃɛntoˈmiːla]) is a 1926 novel by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello. It is Pirandello's last novel; his son later said that it took "more than 15 years" to write. [1] In an autobiographical letter, published in 1924, the author refers to this work as the "...bitterest of all, profoundly humoristic, about the decomposition of life:

Perspectivism falls among those philosophical views that give rise to more questions than answers, especially considering we never truly have a particular method of inquiry or a structural theory of knowledge. The view was first coined by Friedrich Nietzche.

I. What Marco di Dio and His Wife, Diamante, Were to Me

At first, with an ailing wife and no money, Pirandello contemplated suicide. Instead, he redoubled his efforts. He took on more teaching work and wrote at a furious pace. He would go on to write 7 novels, numerous short stories, poetry, and around 40 plays throughout his career.

But the problem is, despite beginning from premises which aren’t particularly controversial, One, No One, And One Hundred Thousand proceeds to draw out some very questionable conclusions. Beginning from the premise that we’re viewed differently by each of those around us, it jumps to the argument that one person is actually hundreds, if not thousands of different people. This may initially seem like a harmless metaphor, but Pirandello in fact goes so far as reifying this metaphor, treating distinct conceptions as if they were sufficient to give birth to distinct living and breathing bodies:The capacity for deluding ourselves that today's reality is the only true one, on the one hand, sustains us, but on the other, it plunges us into an endless void, because today's reality is destined to prove delusion for us tomorrow; and life doesn't conclude. It can't conclude. Tomorrow if it concludes, it's finished.” Si ribella, Vitangelo. Inizia a compiere azioni che scombinano e rovesciano ogni certezza sul suo apparire. Cerca disperatamente di dimostrare di non essere quello che gli altri credono. Vitangelo Moscarda discovers by way of a completely irrelevant question that his wife poses to him that everyone he knows, everyone he has ever met, has constructed a Vitangelo persona in their own imagination and that none of these personas corresponds to the image of Vitangelo that he himself has constructed and believes himself to be.

His father ran a bank, and has left him controlling interest in it, but Moscarda is not involved in the business, leaving it to others and living comfortably off the income. Oamenii, vezi, simt nevoia să facă o casă a sentimentelor lor. Nu le ajunge că au înăuntru, în inimă, sentimentele; vor să le vadă şi în afară, să le atingă. Şi atunci le construiesc o casă" - remarcă referitoare la nevoia omului de divinitate şi la fastul Bisericii (în context). considerazioni che mi scavavano dentro e bucheravano giù per torto e su per traverso lo spirito, come una tana di talpa; senza che di fuori ne paresse nulla.” FoxP3; Treg heterogeneity; Treg-regulatory T cell; immune regulation; multiple sclerosis; neuroimmunity.From that day on, my most ardent desire was to be alone, at least for an hour. But, to tell the truth, it was not a desire, it was a need: a pressing, anxious, acute need, which the presence or vicinity of my wife exacerbated to the point of rage. Pirandello's early writing and teaching at the Istituto Superiore di Magistero di Roma was sufficient to support himself, his wife, and his three children--supplemented by an allowance from his father and his wife's dowry. Bu söze katılmamak elde değil; çünkü acı da mizah da var bu eserde. Yalnızlık da uyanış da. Başlarda biraz konunun içine dalmakta zorlansam da sevdiğim, karakter çözümlemesini beğendiğim bir kitap oldu. Yazarın diğer eserlerini de okuma isteği uyandırdığı da bir gerçek.

Does a cloud by any chance know anything of the fact of being?...But to explain the wherefore of the why?” Me? What do you mean?” my friend cried. “I have a dimple; I know that; but it’s not the way you say.” Never; not as I can see you. But I see a likeness of you that is mine and mine alone; it is assuredly not yours. You, while living, have possibly been able to catch no more than a bare glimpse of your own in some snapshot or other that has been made of you; and it has come as an unpleasant surprise; it may even have pained you to recognize yourself, in helter-skelter motion like that." His wife doesn't help by immediately pointing out that that's hardly his only flaw, but the tilted nose was enough to set in motion the mega identity-crisis that then unfolds -- and the consequences. This mountains-out-of-molehills approach will also mark what become his new obsessions, as he now comes to question the very fundamentals of his identity: he had always seen himself one way, but now realizes he didn't see his true self.Credete pure che, se qualche dispiacere ha potuto recarvi l'esperienza or ora fatta, quest'è niente, mio caro, perché voi non siete due soltanto, ma chi sa quanti, senza saperlo, e credendovi sempre uno". None, signifying that none of these are really a true self and that nothing holds true to test in the end. This identity crisis -- of him and everyone seeing themselves and each other in myriad different ways, a mutual misapprehension at the most basic level of understanding of the self and the other -- becomes all-consuming. Oltre alla considerazioni esistenziali e filosofiche rese dal personaggio Moscarda con una certa esasperazione, il romanzo presenta due elementi autobiografici importanti:
