The stock characters are the basic characters used for every skit or performance.
Each character has its individual properties, traits, and characteristics.
The character I researched was Pedrolino.
- the innocent child, always gets blamed for everything
- often silent (pantomime)
- wheres all white
- very baggy clothes
- often a small cap or bedtime hat
- snotty nose
- walks like a chicken
- clumsy and often embarrassed
Other important stock characters:
Franchescina-- flirty lover
Columbina-- slutty maid
Pantelone-- father who often falls asleep
El Dotore-- doctor, says people are either pregnant or dead
Arlechino-- acrobatic, often main protagonist
