Pantalone
Pantalone (:pantaˈloːne), also spelled Pantaloon,〔Pantaloon is the spelling of the character's name in English Harlequinades and is also used for Pantalone in Pierre-Louis Duchartre's ''The Italian Comedy'', translated by Randolph T. Weaver. London: George G. Harrap and Co., Ltd. (1929); New York: Dover (1966). ISBN 0486216799.〕 is one of the most important principal characters found in commedia dell'arte. With his exceptional greed and status at the top of the social order, Pantalone is "money" in the commedia world. His full name, including family name, is ''Pantalon de' Bisognosi'', Italian for 'Pantalone of the Needy'.〔Robert Henke ''Performance and literature in the commedia dell'arte'', Improvisation and characters, Individual roles, pp.19-24〕
==Character==
Among other things, Pantalone is a character of Venetians; his name derives from Saint Pantaleon (''San Pantalone''), a popular saint in Venice. The character of Pantalone is entirely based on currency and ego, for he has the highest regards for his intelligence, "but at every step he becomes the butt for every conceivable kind of trick".〔 With little else to occupy his thoughts after a life as a tradesman or merchant, Pantalone is the metaphorical representation of money in the commedia world. Pantalone is usually the father to one of the lovers, another stock character found in commedia. He is driven to keep his child and their respective lover apart. Pantalone is presented either as a widower or bachelor, and despite his age, makes numerous passes at the women within the commedia world, "though he is always rejected".〔 Pantalone never forgets a deal and his merit is based on actions, not words.〔John Rudlin: ''Commedia Dell'arte: An Actor's Handbook'', p.182〕
With his sinister and often inhumane treatment towards his fellows, Pantalone is perceived to be a pivotal part of commedia. His importance is represented in almost every commedia production; often placing him at the beginning of the comedy.〔Allardyce Nicoll: ''The World of Harlequin, a Critical Study of the Commedia Dell'arte'', p.44〕 In a commedia comedy, many zanni or lazzi routines will begin by an action delivered by Pantalone himself.
