The mask must always inhibit the actor in expressing both joy and grief. Whether the character is in love, irate, or simply jesting, he always has the same piece of leather on his face. However much the actor gesticulates and varies his tone of voice, he can never show, by means of those facial expressions which are the heart’s interpreters, the different passions agitating his soul.
