Who’s Responsible for the final tragedy in ‘A View from the Bridge’?

Nowadays, family committedness is not as common in families as in used to be. Think closely your family, does it revolve around loyalty or some topic else? In the play, A View from the Bridge written by Arthur Miller their whole family life revolves around loyalty and is an every(prenominal)day duty. exclusively evidently shown the pressure of family loyalty can push you to do things that might not be in your nature to do. It begins when Eddie and Beatrice give rubber to two Italian immigrants, whom are Beatrices cousins named Marco and Rodolfo.Once they arrive everybodys feelings of lust, jealousy and anger begin to become stronger and stronger. But this still leaves the question stretchWho or what is responsible for the final tragedy? Catherine joined the Carbone family when her mother died they willingly took in and dedicated their life to take care of her. Eddie shows to be a pity and protective father especi every last(predicate)y when Catherine fates to go out in a sh ort skirt, Eddie is not very impressed and says Youre walking wavy and he doesnt like they way men look at her in the candy store (I dont like the looks theyre givin you in the candy store. . He seems to withstand this lead on Catherine over what she does and how she does it. But when Beatrice (Eddies wife) has her cousins come over illegally from Italy Catherines childhood days and demeanor seems to slowly be drifting away as Catherine and Rodolfo begin to realize their love for each other but not if Eddie has anything to do with it. At the radical of the play, Eddie is clearly shown as an over-protective father figure over Catherine.At first his relationship with Catherine is publicized as a typical father-daughter relationship he disagrees with things she says and hes never content with her personal relationships. But Catherine also shows that she feels quite close to him when Beatrice reveals You still walk around in front of him with scarcely your slide and you sit of the edge of the bathtub talkin to him when hes shavin in his underwear This shows that Catherine is very comfortable with Eddie but it may be that its her being that comfortable that leads Eddie to want more than a father-daughter relationship with her.When Marco and Rodolfo arrive there is a clear attraction between Catherine and Rodolfo and this is only the start of a big problem in Eddies eyes. When Beatrice says if it was a prince came here for you it would be no different This shows that even Beatrice knows what Eddies doing but she said its going to be like this with every guy Catherine is with. Also that he will always love her, no matter who she loves. Beatrice is shown as a sensitive wo earthly concern in a aspect from a bridge, she may not be shown as a must needed character but in fact there is more to Beatrice than we think.In the play we get the feeling that once Rodolfo and Marco arrive she wants everything to be perfect so when Eddie gets upset with the relationship wit h Catherine and Rodolfo she starts to snap at Eddie a lot more. I know this from when Eddie says 2you didnt used to jump me all the time but it kind of shows a caring side to Beatrice she wants her cousins to earn a comfortable and amiable home to live in while they stay in America. Beatrice suggests that recently Eddie hasnt been treating her like a wife and their love life hasnt been all that it could be when Beatrice snaps at Eddie saying When am I going to be a wife again, Eddie.This lack of loving for his wife is probably because of his recent compulsion with his nieces relationship, he wants to be noticed by her because he detests that she has someone to love. Beatrice slowly starts to realize what Eddie is trying to and his involvement with Catherine when Beatrice says You want somethin else Eddie and you can never have her (Catherine) By this point in the play it is pretty clear that Beatrice is telling the truth.But I dont think Beatrice is stating what needs to be said, I think that she is attacked Eddie with this statement because she is annoyed of Eddie and jealous of Catherine because she is getting the loving from Eddie that Beatrice tries so hard to get, just a little bit of. Beatrice has a habit of egg laying out the truth to her loved ones, but in the end she sucks up to Eddie and does what he tells her to do I see this when Eddie doesnt want to go to the espousal and Beatrice makes her own decision to stay at home with Eddie and not go.At the beginning of the play Marco is shown as quite a chilled out person. As the lecturer we now he is a man devoted to her family and the loyalty that keeps them so close. He is so devoted that he had to leave his wife and children spikelet in Italy to come and work in America. One of Marcos first good qualities we see is a peacemaker he is constantly trying to calm the separate out atmosphere between Eddie and Rodolfo and in Eddies eyes his other good quality is being masculine and Eddies friend Louis describes as A rhythmic bull and says Hes a regular slave I think this means he works hard.He tells Rodolfo to be respectful to Eddie when they have arguments but I think this is only because he wants to makes his welcome as long as possible so he can work for his wife and children. But when Eddie snitches to immigration Marcos innocent feelings and peacemaker quality disappears. He almost turns into a completely different person. In the eyes Eddie, Rodolfo is an evil man who has only traveled to America to steal Catherine from him. When in fact he is just there to get money for his brothers family and falls in love with Catherine.We know that Rodolfo can sing but he tends to sing in inappropriate places, such as the house and down at the docks (these are places were they could easily get caught). We know a lot of good things about Rodolfo but not any bad thingsand thats what drives Eddie mad. So Eddie accuses Rodolfo of only wanting a relationship with Catherine to become an Ame rican Citizen. But when Catherine asks him (Would you still want to do it if it turned out we had to go live in Italy? ) he replies No I will not marry you to live in Italy.I want you to be my wife, and I want to be a citizen if Rodolfo really just wanted to be an American Citizen why would he reply with such an honest answer? His masculinity is tested when Eddie decides to teach Rodolfo how to fight (come on, Ill teach you. ) but Eddie takes advantage of him and boxes him straight in the face. Eddie thought that this showed that Rodolfo was gay but maybe he just didnt want to fight? But then Eddie kisses Rodolfo to try and say that he is gay, but it didnt work.In my touch it made Eddie look quite silly because there was no reaction. Catherine, the stunning seventeen-year-old girl She is in the middle of the love triangle. She is portrayed as a loving daughter. She loves Eddie He took her in a brought her up as his own and they are shown with a good father daughter relationship. E ddie Notices everything about Catherine her hair, new out fit (at the beginning of the play), she likes that hes noticed but she doesnt no that its really his secret desire fore her Whereas Beatrice notices this when her cousins arrive.This is when we see a different side of Eddie, when he starts to get really jealous. Eddie becomes persistent I decision ways and excuses with stopping Catherine from going out with Rodolfo this puts a strain on their relationship. But when Eddie kisses Catherine it just ruins the relationship, Catherine realizes what has been happening and is fuming at her uncle. Reputation is a big thing through this play and there are many things which let us know about this.When Eddie has a convosation with Beatrice and he talks about Rodolfo, he says Im ashamed. Paper doll they call him. Blondie now this shows that Eddie is worried and doesnt want to ruin his reputation down at the docks. Next big wrap that respect and reputation is a big thing in this family is when Eddie shouts I want my respect Eddie says this after he has turned in Marco and Rodolfo in my opinion he has probably anomic all respect for himself and is asking respect from other people in order to feel better.When Marco and Eddie are fighting in the street Marco shouts That one He killed my children That one stole food from my children when he says this in front of the whole neighborhood this destroys Eddies reputation with the community. Eddie replies Gonna take that back or Ill kill him this shows Eddie will do anything to get his reputation back and he is not joking. The long lasting respect Catherine has for her uncle in lost (You got no right to tell nobody nothing, Nobody The rest of your life, nobody ).
