O Visconde Cortado ao Meio

The story’s playful yet profound take on identity makes me wonder what motivated Calvino to use this fantastical split as a metaphor for human nature.

The characters embody different sides of himself, and I kept questioning whether one side is more 'right' than the other. How did others interpret their moral choices?

The lighthearted style makes the themes of morality and identity feel more approachable, but I’m curious how others think it impacts the depth of the narrative.
