Rapresentazioni della trappola borghese in Quaderno Proibito. Echi pirandelliani e morantiani
The Image of the Trap in Quaderno proibito. Echoes of Luigi Pirandello’s and Elsa Morante’s oeuvre.

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at illustrating similarities concerning the thematic concepts between Alba de Cespedes’ novel Quaderno proibito and works by Luigi Pirandello and Elsa Morante respectively. It focuses on the bourgeoisie class that is treated in the works of all the three aforementioned authors (in particular in the novel Menzogna e sortilegio by Elsa Morante). In addition, we aim to illustrate in what way the Pirandello-Morante axis fits the aforementioned novel by De Cespedes. Finally, the paper focuses on the topic of motherhood, which is represented to a great extent in the works of these three authors.
