Her love for him is completely innocent daughterly love and at this point his love for her seems
purely paternal. He then bends the rolled paper and it suddenly tears in two. Her love and admiration
for Eddie is shown in that one single moment. There is the main characters wife’s cousins who
migrate illegally from Italy, one of whom that falls in love with Eddies niece, Catherine. Also,
Catherine’s affection for Rodolfo highlights how she likes things that Eddie doesn’t like, making
him realise that he is more out of touch with her than he realises. He is the symbolic bridge between
American law and tribunal laws. Miller uses the over-protective character of Eddie and his actions,
the anxieties of Catherine and Beatrice and the boxing “fight” between Eddie and Rodolpho to make
the audience tense. A character in the play called Alfieri narrates the play in the present tense and
describes the events in the past. The tension mounts when Catherine tells Rodolfo that she loves him,
these words made an immediate impact on the shameful emotion hidden in Eddie’s feelings. I think
that this shows Eddies true feelings as he is drunk. Eddie's change in character leads to a pivotal
scene in the play where 'he reaches out suddenly, and as she strives to free herself, he kisses her on
the mouth.' When people are drunk, their innermost desires surface and they do and act as they feel.
Whenever Eddie is addressing Beatrice he always seems to retain his role I the family. The area,
which the Carbone family lived in, was called 'Red Hook'. They consider it to be a blessing that they
are able to find work and a reasonably reliable source of income. There are not many props used
other than the basic set, but many are significant; for example, the newspaper being crumpled up
used to express Eddie’s anger (just before the incident when he kisses Catherine and Rodolfo), and
the three bottles of whiskey when he returns from work on Christmas Eve. In Act I he comes across
as a controlling man, who has an. The reason why Eddie does this is that he thinks if Beatrice,
Catherine and Marco notice that Rodolfo is homosexual he may have Catherine back as he had her
in the old days. It shows Eddie has some degree of happiness and contentment in what he has. The
number of bottles indicates that Eddie is very drunk, and liable to lose control of reason in this state.
She defers to Eddie allowing him control the household; she shows anxiety upon the arrival of her
cousins and says to Eddie “I’m just worried about you”. This is very dramatic because Eddie uses
strong accusations on Marco how ungrateful he has been and also refers to the story of the Good
Samaritan in the bible to make his accusation stronger. It is before Christmas and Eddie arrives home
late and drunk. Each are entirely worth every second of time, effort, and sleep I lost to read them.
This shows that Eddie always wants to be the best and will strive to accomplish his goals. Rodolfo
and Catherine's love grows evident as they start to spend more time with each other. He presents to
us Eddie, as he is our window into this incredible tale, showing us how irrational the behaviour of a
human can become. The Wild West was a dangerous place and possibly violent. At the end of the
play the crowd on stage turn to the audience and the lights are turned down leaving Beatrice and
Eddie in a glow while behind in dull prayers of the people and the keening of for women continue.
Do you need urgent assistance in writing high school, college or university academic papers. Eddie’s
reaction is pleased and also and also shy when Catherine greats him.
A breakdown can be foreshadowed here because before Catherine would have been completely loyal
to but this time she goes out without his permission, when he asks her she arrogantly says “Sure, the
Brooklyn Paramount. However later in the play Eddie disregards his family loyalty towards Rodolfo
and embarks on a mission of revenge towards Rodolfo when he discovers Catherine and Rodolfo
have just had sex. Catherine's decision over Rodolfo has been made and she remains strong. Their
confrontation in the street is brief, where Eddie,somewhat. This is the first time Catherine
independently makes a decision, and chooses Rodolfo over Eddie. In this instance the dash is used to
show that Catherine has interrupted Eddie. In 1938 Miller won awards for his comedy The Grass
Still Grows. Now, that Rodolfo came, Eddie’s place has been taken and Catherine is reacting with
Rodolfo in the same way as she used to react with Eddie. Alfieri explains that things have calmed
and the residents of Red Hook adapted to American society and the law and Alfieri prefers it this
way. Eddie suddenly throws a punch right across Rodolpho’s face. It is a real physical strength that
Eddie can’t do but he can. And bless her’’ meaning to let the couple marry, but Alfieri warns Eddie
that there could be awful consequences if h didn’t. But, as his niece begins to fall for one of them,
it's clear that it's not just, as Eddie claims, that he's too strange, too sissy, too careless for her, but that
something bigger, deeper is wrong, and wrong inside Eddie, in a way he can't face. In Act I he
comes across as a controlling man, who has an. This influences Eddies feelings towards Rodolfo; 'He
gives me the heebie-jeebies' and 'He aint right' -implying he's gay. As soon as Eddie kisses Catherine,
he seems to want to disguise what has just happened by trying to humiliate Rodolfo. 'Eddie pins his
arms, laughing, and suddenly kisses him.' He tries to prove to Catherine that Rodolfo is gay, and he
expects to humiliate Rodolfo but he ends up humiliating himself. However another persons tragedy is
entertaining if it doesn’t evolve you or if the same thing doesn’t happen to you. In the evening Eddie
asserts his authority over Catherine by embarrassing her and making a fuss over the high heel shoes,
which she had put on to, impress the new comers. At this stage Eddie gets angry and tries to stop
Rodolfo singing. She calls him a rat and says that he belongs in the sewer. Brooklyn is like the Wild
West, you would expect fight like a frontier because there is a lack of central authority. Eddies
reaction is quick 'What job, she's going to finish school.' Instantly Eddie has decided that it's a bad
idea, and says no as if it's his decision to make, even though Catherine is 17. However, Eddie and his
family still retain the self-respect, which is so important in the Sicilian Code. No matter, we have
their work to admire until fame calls them out. Eddie is now regretting the call that he made to the
Immigration Bureau. Eddie made a promise to Catherine's mother on her death bed to be responsible
for her. In the last scene his eyes are described as 'murderous eyes' and he 'cracks his finger with a
strange sort of relaxation.' His tunnel eyes are now focused on getting his reputation back and his
murderous rage towards Marco. The tragedy must now run its 'bloody course' as Alfieri said right in
the beginning of Act One. He has finally submitted to Marco and him being on his knee is a visual
image of his submission. About Eddie Carbone in Arthur Miller s A View From The.
The inappropriate relationship between Catherine and Eddie is depicted by Miller in the scene where
Catherine leans over Eddie and lights his cigar for him; which is a phallic symbol. Beatrice says that
Rodolfo is a' goodlookin' hard workin' kid' and strongly disagrees with Eddie. Catherine will not
respect him anymore because it’s a disgusting act and not a man would do. He seems to be unable to
have a multiplicity of foci and can only focus on one thing, whether it is his incestuous desire
towards Catherine or his vengeful rage towards Marco. However, the wants to show that where they
live could be like Brooklyn if they let the passion carry them away. Their security lay within the
realms of the family. By saying this, Eddie seem to think that when Catherine will find a job she will
leave the house and he is more scared if Catherine is not going to visit him and Beatrice often.
Immediately Marco strikes him and shouts “animaaaaal” and later he says it again to show that Eddie
does not reason. This altercation seemed inexorable due to the two strong males living under one
roof. He is literally and metaphorically throwing all that Eddie has done for him back in his face. The
audience knows that whatever is to come will be fiery and fervent. A View from The Bridge
Coursework Discuss the importance of stage directions in Arthur Millers 'A View From The Bridge'
and what they reveal about the character of Eddie Carbone. As the conversation of Italy arises, the
tension grows. While watching the two dance 'he has been unconsciously twisting the newspaper into
a roll.he has bent the newspaper and suddenly tears it in two.' The newspaper seems to represent
Eddie's anger and as the anger intensifies he rolls the paper tighter and tighter. The stage directions
make Eddie seem like a normal person with conflicting emotions making the audience relate with
him more. As the narrator, Alfieri sets the scene, 'this is the slum that faces the bay on the seaward
side of Brooklyn Bridge', and usually speaks in places of time gaps for example after Eddie just
meets with Rodolpho and Marco, Alfieri narrates and the scene continues a few hours after where it
left. She adds that ultimately 'If you act like a baby he'll treat you like a baby.' Catherine is very
close to Beatrice and trusts her, but finds what she says about her and Eddie a shock. As Catherine's
mother is dead, Eddie and Beatrice have filled the role her father and mother. He has betrayed the
Sicilian code and has lost his reputation and his honour. Marco knows Eddie feels this way about
Rodolfo and is unhappy that Eddie feels this way about a member of his family. Throughout the first
Act, Alfieri continues to describe Eddie and involve us with the happenings of the play. Beatrice’s
plea with Eddie several times but every time she does it Eddie has a reason. Eddies eyes tend to
reveal his deepest emotions in a way that his dialogue and movement do not. Also the fact that Eddie
is watching the smoke, which earlier represented metaphorical burning, coming out of his mouth,
shows that he knows he is going to be the cause of the emotional burning and it is only a matter of
time before it happens. For instance hitting Rodolfo and acting as though he was teaching him how
to box. You will be rewarded for reading, for the first time at least, the collection in the order they
are presented. Eddie is feeling intense emotions that he cannot control and his emotions are changing
constantly. 'Eddie seems about ready to pick up the table and fling it ate her.' Violence is springing
from his intense emotion. The story consists of a lot of drama that is unspoken, of which this is an
example. When Vinnie's family found out about his betrayal, 'they spit on him, his own brothers and
sisters.' By spitting in Eddie's face, Marco marks Eddie as the man who has not only betrayed his
own but also brought the unwelcome authority to their neighbourhood. This is a heavy demanding
job therefore masculine strength is expected.
