Polichinelle par Maurice Sand (Getty Images)
Dear Readers,
I was unwell and my computer was failing me. I asked a local technician and friend to buy a computer for me and to set it up. The former computer had not been repaired properly.
Polichinelle is a well-known character in the commedia dell’arte. He is Pulcinella.
Sincere apologies for the delay and love to everyone. We return to L’Étourdi, The Blunderer.

I think I’ll be well. There is something wrong with my blood. I hemorrhage through the mouth and nose. I will be under the care of a hematologist. I’m told it can be cured. I lost 14 siblings to a congenital blood disease. I’m a carrier. This isn’t the best of computers, but it works. I will buy a better computer so I have two. I don’t want to be cut off from my blogging community. Given that I live alone and that my cat Belaud has died, it has become extremely important. This little computer is a jewel and a technician is always available. 🙂

I don’t know how I failed to “Like” this before today! I remember watching the video on the history of Pulcinella – lead to Punch and Judy! Very interesting! — YUR

It seems these stock characters have been with us for thousands of year. They inhabited the Atellan farce. So Pulcinella led to Punch and Judy. Humanity has so many faces. Each one of these characters represent part of human behaviour.There is something rather new in Molière, but not much. Molière realized that a person could not changed. Mascarille can not change Lelio and he cannot go around him. Molière had to invent a third narrative which I like to call the exotic.
