The theme is as old as humanity, is the duality of good and evil. We find it already nell'antitesi light / darkness of the genesis, in the classic - equally or perhaps more ancient - chaos / harmony. This brings us even more introspection, because, depending on your point of view, chaos can be identified with evil and with good harmony, or vice versa. It is then not only of both worlds in themselves and "cosmic" but its reality of the human soul, spirit. Already S. Thomas, then also S. Ignatius, as will the two companies, As the reality of the human spirit in the face of these realities. It 'difficult to discern between the good and the bad spirit, which inspire the soul to be the basis, already in Thomas, but particularly in Ignatius, the spiritual man. E 'speech also intimately connected to human freedom. E 'theme taken up by much secular literature, more or less famous, look at "Faust" by Goethe, or consider the famous "Case of Dr. Jekkyll and Mr. Hyde." In the first, in the end, "Grace" by the woman saves man from his passionate attitude to evil. In accordance with the dialectic between the two poles takes such strength and intensity radically split into two personalities and two spirits different and the same. E 'in a masterly way the track followed by the brilliant and superbly imaginative fantasy of Pier Paolo
"Well," says Polis finally coming to terms with the irreconcilable, "then what are you doing?" Thetis which is certainly more pragmatic, as someone who wants evil, and evil is satisfied he can do now - because there is always plenty of time to make other - she answers without hesitation: "You take what is yours and I take what's mine. " "Meaning?" he inquired, including the angel. "You" says the devil will take your body. And I take the other body is inside. " The proposal is reasonable of the devil! Polis looks at how fascinated. Is silent and looks at him. And while he falls silent and looks at him a smile up from his deep, slowly, like a sky on which the wind blows away the clouds, and slowly makes it perfectly clear and bright, until the smile, provoked by the proposal of the devil, but perhaps supported by calculations deeper, turned into words: "I agree" Polis said, "Take the other body." Thetis did not do it again twice, he pulls out a knife from his sordid pockets, he sticks his toe in the belly of the body of Charles and there is a long cut. Then open it with your hands, and pulls out from inside the bowels of a fetus. With one hand, passing on her lips bloody cut, medical and heals the wound, the other picks up the baby to heaven as a mid-wife happy in his work. The fetus grows visibly immediately. And, with astonishment, as she grows, Charles recognizes this: is he the same boy, then boy, then young, then as it is now thirty years old, a man prepared and cultured from the air, ready for life. As the fetus has grown up, and standing on the balcony, next to his patron, Charles sees that the body lying on the ground, unconscious, he begins again, as a new mother, to revive. They see open gl'occhi slowly, looking around bewildered, get back his glasses, and, pointing his hand to the ground, get up, until it is straight ahead, standing beside Polis: the one who (apparently) belongs. He who in exchange for his worship would protect him. The Charles of Thetis and Charles Polis are identical. And in fact identical. They do a quick step toward each other, like peer better. And Charles sees them in profile, real estate, as Christ and Judas in the context of Giotto are so close that their gesture is that when two people are going to give her a kiss. And while you lay down so carefully that their eyes seem petrified. A dark feeling is at the bottom of that look, which closely unites them, tying them as a single voltage that pushes them toward each other. As Charles notes that look and guess who is silent, and can not get away from that to which is due to the revelation - by providing, at the same time, the whole long chain of future acts, that contains recognition - does not realize that the angel and the devil have fallen away. Just in time to see that disappear, friendly conversation and Tenedos arm like two old friends who share their lives.
Pasolini's page is amazing. Of course it does not have the verve - even humorous - that of Goethe in the beginning of "Faust" has not the darkness of the Jekyll, but instead it has just that atmosphere that should be naturally inherent to this reality: the right mixing - 50 and 50 - the perfect, serene and clear, equally dark. The Angela and the demon go away arm together like old friends because they have complied with the reality that we are also places such as parties, as individual humans for dialogue, thereby radically acts on him. The page of Pier Paolo is one of the most beautiful, dare I say titan of world literature of the twentieth century.
