Pinocchio

Pinocchio is the main character in Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel 'The Adventures of Pinocchio.' He is a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy but faces numerous moral challenges and temptations along the way. Unlike the lighter depiction in Disney's adaptation, Collodi's Pinocchio is portrayed as a more rebellious and flawed character, whose adventures raise profound questions about truth, honesty, and the nature of humanity.
