Characters

Did you know that in the original story…

Pinocchio goes back to Geppetto's house where he accidentally kills a talking cricket.

Pinocchio falls asleep with his feet on the stove, and wakes to find that they have burned off.

The Fairy hints that if Pinocchio does well in school and tries his hardest to be good for one whole year, then he will become a real boy.

Pinocchio does excellently in school and passes with high honors. The Fairy promises that Pinocchio will be a real boy the next day and says he should invite all his friends to a party.

Pinocchio is shocked to find forty freshly-minted gold coins. Geppetto also returns to health and resumes woodcarving.

Vladimir Propp´s functions in the story

INTERDICTION: A forbidding edict or command is passed upon the hero ('don't go there', 'don't do this'). The hero is warned against some action.

A talking cricket who had warned Pinocchio of the perils of disobedience

and hedonism.

RECONNAISSANCE: The villain (s) makes an effort to attain knowledge needed to fulfill their plot. Disguises are often invoked as the villain actively probes for information, perhaps for a valuable item or to abduct someone.


Pinocchio meets a fox and a cat. The Cat pretends to be blind, and the Fox pretends to be lame.

PURSUIT: The hero is pursued by some threatening adversary, who perhaps seek to capture or eat them.

Pinocchio does his best to outswim the Dogfish but is swallowed by it.

TRICKERY: The villain attempts to deceive the victim to acquire something valuable.

DEPARTURE: The hero leaves the home environment, this time with a sense of purpose. Here begins their adventure.


On his way to school the next morning, Pinocchio encounters the Great Marionette Theatre, and he sells his school book in order to buy a ticket for the show.

The two animals (the fox and the cat) convince Pinocchio that if he plants his gold coins in the Field of Miracles outside the city of Catchfools, they will grow into a tree with gold coins.

RETURN: RETURN: The hero travels back to their home.

TRANSFIGURATION: The hero gains a new appearance.


Two hours before the set time, the pair abandon Pinocchio, leaving him to pay for the meal with one of his coins.

DELIVERY: The villain succeeds at recon and gains a lead on their intended victim. A map is often involved in some level of the event.

That night, he dreams that he is visited by the Fairy, who kisses him. When he wakes up, he is a real boy at last.

Geppetto and Pinocchio arrive at a small house, which is home to the Ghost of the Talking Cricket. The Talking Cricket says they can stay and reveals that he got his house from a little goat with turquoise hair.

PUNISHMENT: The villain suffers the consequences of their actions, perhaps at the hands of the hero, the avenged victims, or as a direct result of their own ploy.

Pinocchio and Geppetto pass two beggars: the Fox and the Cat. The Cat has really become

blind, and the Fox has really become lame and is also thin, is almost hairless, and has chopped off his tail to sell for food. The Fox and the Cat

plead for food or money


The Moral is…

Do not tell lies
