Reply to comment by MahLilThrowaway in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower
But not to hold him down…

Never made sense to me. What kind of puppet is bound down by their strings? The strings always lift them up. Perhaps Pinocchio believed himself to be a balloon instead of a puppet?

I think they meant hold down as in like how a leash tied to a tree holds you in place. So down is not right, I agree, but probably meant like you receive self locomotion as a marionette - but the strings keep you in place.

He is a marionette. And for reference, I'm a Lamborghini.
