In the beginning she runs towards the sea and arrives home---cheat cut expresses that her home is nature, she is a natural person. Gelsomina is sold to Zampano, htis refers to absolute power over her. Zampano is cheating on Gelsomina twice. At the first time she enjoys the company of the other woman in the restaurant, because she is not aware of what is happening there. At the second time (woman giving clothes to Zampano) she already understands it. It is a process of learning. So she is not happy at all, altough she is psychologically retarded. Gelsomina is childlike , doesn't know social rules, nor social roles. She is innocent , imitating Zampano. She is clownlike ,because of her strong emotions. Off-stage she is the same as on-stage. The Fool tells Gelsomina that Zampano needs her. Fool explains Zampano to Gelsomina, so from that point she has found a meaning in life. It is a major turn in their relationship. At the second ''sea scene'' Gelsomina tells to Zampano: '' home is with you'', his reaction is:'' you are only with me ,because you don't want to strave''- he acts very cold,tries to be even tougher. When she says '' tomato seeds must be planted ''-it also refers to her natural way of thinking by this natural law. She is really one with nature. She has several mirror images in the film: the lonely horse, the big headed boy,the fool, the stone.---small,useless like her. She is a real entertainer ,unlike Zampano who is monotonous. She can play the trumpet that Zampano doesn't allow her to do it ,but later on in the nunnery he tells her to play it. There is no communication between them . After the jail there should be a change in there relationship , because she stayed with him ,but he is still rude to her. After the murder ,where Zampano killed the fool, he starts explaining and apologizing to Gelsomina, he is not that tough anymore. She becomes a sad person , not smiling anymore and not communicating with Zampano anymore.
