Harry as Pierrot

Hello, this is my rant on Pierrot and what I remember from school days (Pierrot was my first Carnival costume in primary school. This is very personal to me haha).

Before getting very philosophical, Pierrot is the “sad clown”. I remember learning his main characteristic was a teardrop on face.

Harry tonight has pearls for tears on his cheeks and forehead. X

In the history of Italian comedy, Pierrot is seen as a fool always pining on Columbine. He loves her but Columbine loves Harlequin. Sobs.

Among the critiques, this character is controversial. He was considered as a fool at the beginning, but he is just struggling to adapt to fit society standards. Eventually, the Symbolists saw him as a lonely fellow-sufferer, crucified upon the rood of soulful sensitivity, his only friend the distant moon; this is a very recurrent theme in Italian literature (eg Leopardi).

Pierrot became an alter-ego of the famously alienated artists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Apparently (google says) Bowie said: I'm Pierrot, I'm Everyman”.

It’s too late now (3.17 am) to find the context, but I will. Stay tuned lmao

Adding here Harry’s tattoo with the masks cause I think it fits since Pierrot is basically a “maschera”, even though it is not related I guess (plus one of my favourite quote!)
