The film's story is well-arranged, and the plot is flawless. In this film, the contradiction between the author's "vertical" theme and "horizontal" narrative requirements has been satisfactorily resolved. Fellini succeeded in endowing the film with tragic tension and rigor, abandoning methods that are incompatible with his world. Like "The Road" and "The Liar", the film is a story of asceticism and salvation. The rigor and perfection of the film's structure lies in the precise layout of the episodes. Each episode maintains the uniqueness and vividness of the event, and each episode is arranged in sequence. This order is always shown after the fact. Out of their absolute inevitability. The last shot of the whole film is the most original and infectious shot of all Fellini's works. It makes the audience immediately identify with the heroine, thus bringing the film to a higher level

Maria 'Cabiria' Ceccarelli: [in Italian] What are you saying? Marry me? What are you saying? Marry someone you've seen ten times. That's not how it's done. Really! Thank God I'm an honest woman.That's not how it's done. Excuse-me!
