epted lover, Harlequin, dine together. Strangely enough, this conventional farce is very like the situation in the real lives ofthe players, and when Punchinello (Canio) arrives and surprises the lovers, as the playdemands, he loses his head when he hears Columbine repeat in the farce the very wordshe overheard her say to her real lover earlier in the day. Mad with rage, he again demandsher lovers name. Nedda tries to save the situation by continuing the play, while theaudience is delighted by such realistic acting until the intensity of Canios passion begins toterrify them. The other players endeavor to silence him, but in vain. Finally, stung byhis taunts, Nedda defies him and is stabbed, Canio hoping that in her death agony she willreveal the name of her lover. She falls, calling upon Silvio, who rushes from the crowdonly to receive in turn the dagger of the outraged husband. As Canio is disarmed by thepeasants he cries as if in a dream, La commedia efinita—(The comedy is ended).
