Basilio (aka "Basil", "Vaska", but only the Italian style) - of course, one of the most exciting and original characters in Tolstoy's tale "Pinocchio."In Russia at that time almost a good half of the cats called Vaska, so it's quite imechko common noun, means not only a trick, the propensity to fraud, stupidity (the well-known "Vaska listens but eat"), but also simplicity, often makes us melt this hero.
Familiarity with Pinocchio
Cat Basilio Karabas, Duremar, Alice, of course, represent in this tale so-called "evil forces".Tolstoy continued to make fun of them throughout his tale.We laugh about how annoyed Karabas, with his beard in his pocket, without a stop sneezing.And about how to "blind" the cat Basilio fights over money Pinocchio with his "companion" fox Alice and over how ridiculous these characters sometimes appear.
But the actions in the story developing so rapidly that sometimes do not even know which one of the characters must be regarded as a villain, and who should sympathize.Even negative characters, such as son of a gun Basilio sometimes cause us sympathy and touched a nerve.After all, trying to deceive Pinocchio, Cat Basilio often he falls into the trap, causing pity and sympathy in the reader.This is because Tolstoy's tale "Pinocchio" was originally good.It is fun and easy to read, so to speak, "in the same breath."
Cat Basilio and fox Alice encountered on the way Pinocchio almost at the beginning of the work and accompany the protagonist almost until the very end, one way or another participating in the events unfolding before us.They are like the minor characters, but at the same time, this "sweet couple," the brightness of his characters makes us draw attention to themselves.Pinocchio saw two beggars who wander along the dusty road.These are our characters: a cat Basilio Alice Fox.The boy wants to go have past, but Alice hailing him sweetly calling "pious Pinocchio."
