Responsibility for Eddies Death Essay -- A View from the Bridge Arthu

Responsibility for Eddies DeathIn a View from the bridge, Beatrice illustrates her situations clearly on late events by saying on page 61. Whatever happened, we all doneit, and dont you forget it Catherine. She is stating that everyonecontributed significantly to what has happened in one way or an other(a).On page 4, Alfieris view of settling for half, is different to theway he says it on page 64. On page 64 he says, Most of the time we learn for half. He has differentiated the two quarrel now andmost. This is because he has seen Eddie become a victim of his ownculture and seen the way he respects the Code of Conduct. Alfieri hasconcluded from that, that the best way is not to settle for half allthe time. But Most of the time we settle for half and I like itbetter.Both Beatrice and Alfieri fetch illustrated their views however, theirviews on recent events contrast to each other significantly.We are introduced to the first key scene where we find Eddiesreaction to Catherines job of fer, You cant take no job, why didntyou ask me before taking on a job? This is clearly showing Eddiesinsecurity and doesnt want her to gain any independence anotherreason for this reaction is he doesnt want her to get a boyfriend viaher new job. This scene has created a sense of tension due to highlevels of jealousy surrounding the conversation. Also, Eddie believesthat the man should be the provider and the woman does the housework.This prepares the listening for many more scenes similar to this asEddies reaction is huge compared to the situation. Therefore, theremay be chances of his jealousy taking over and spiralling out ofcontrol.When Marco and Rodolpho arrive from Ital... ..., this could have helped diffuse the situation in a way so thenat least everyones true feelings would have been out in the open.Marco was at stain for what happened at the end of the play was heprovoked the situation at eh end of the play by saying that hewouldnt give Eddie back his name, and cause a g reat deal of tensionin the household in the boxing scene. Catherine was remotelyresponsible for Eddies death at the end of the play by gettinginvolved with Rodolpho too early and against Eddies will and so itlead to Eddie snitching on Rodolpho and Marco.Rodolpho was responsible as he got involved with Catherine and didntask Eddie for permission in the first place, that is regarded as asensible thing for a gentleman to do.Out of both quotations made by Beatrice and Alfieri I think thatBeatrices quote summed up the truth of the play.
