Unlike the popular Disney version, in the original story, the adventure of Pinocchio is exhaustingly long. This reality is never shown in the more popular version. The story portrayed how people living in 19th century Italy strive for food and shelter. This, some critics say, is a reflection of harsh life condition in Italy where the writer was living by the time he wrote this book. When Pinocchio wanted to go to school, Geppetto had to sell his cart and only coat in winter time to buy Pinocchio’s book.
A man, who was annoyed by his pleas, poured Pinocchio’s head with a basin of cold water instead. When Geppetto was in prison Pinocchio had to beg for food in the street. In the original version the condition of extreme poverty in which Geppetto and Pinocchio lived was described very clearly. Only after the police learned the truth he released Geppetto from prison. So the police thought Geppetto had abused Pinocchio and arrested him. Geppetto was known for his reputation as children hater. A policeman saw Pinochio running with Gepetto chasing after him. Right after Geppetto finished carving, Pinocchio started to make more trouble by escaping into the street.
Even when he was still lump of wood, Pinocchio had already shown his character as a naughty boy. It chuckle and stuck out his tongue at him, it snatched his wig and kicked him hard. In the original, the second Geppetto carved out the puppet’s nose it began doing mischievous things on him. In the original version, Pinocchio was carved through a long process and Geppetto’s character was far more complicated. Geppetto was also described as a kind old man who loves little children. In popular version, Pinocchio was created overnight without difficulties and at first he was a sweet little wooden boy. Version, Pinocchio was severely punished for his misdeed and had no chance at all to fulfill his dream.
