"The visit" by I.L. Caragiale

    Ionel Popescu is the main character in the” Visit” a sketch, written by our well known playwright I. L. Caragiale.

The physic portrait of the character can be summarized as follows: Ionel Popescu is an eight year old boy; his exterior aspect can be described in a few words: “I had found him dressed as a major, in a very ellegant suit”. Ionel is a very naughty boy. His cheekiness results from the way he talks to the guest, from his disrespectful attitude the adults and the rude way of the boy who help himself to jam directly from the jar instead of putting some jam on to the plate.

The boy’s behaviour shows us the wrong education that he was getting from his family; he does make foolish things for his age, unintentionally. It proves that he’s a child that makes no difference between good and evil, what’s allowed and what’s forbidden.
