Eddie Carbone

After Eddie found out all of the interesting things that he never knew about his father, he is now more accepting himself as a person and where he came from, as well as accepting where his father came

Eddie Carbone is the tragic protagonist of A View from The bridge. Throughout Act 1, Eddie is presented as masculine and a tragic hero. He shows many signs of masculinity, such as making commands in his household, expecting them to be obeyed. We know this when he tells Catherine that he “thinks it's too short," he expects her to change her outfit. He is also shown as a tragic hero due to his importance towards other characters. Regarding Catherine’s dress, he shows signs of his disapproval, causing Catherine to be “almost in tears”.

Point 1) Eddie lost his pride and honour because he called the immigration bureau and told on him. In his personal perspective, the act is considered shameful and he tries to control Eddie to make him powerless. “You go on your knees to me!” He is trying to justify what he is saying because Marco’s beliefs affect him very much that he has to act on them and make Eddie lose his power because Marco already lost his power since he is caught as an illegal immigrant. When Beatrice tries to come in between by saying "if Marco goes on his knees" to try to lower the tension between Marco and Eddie but it is ironic because at the end Eddie falls on his knees before Marco.

The main tension experienced in “A View from the Bridge” is due to the great contrast between how Eddie sees Catherine, and how she sees him. In Eddie's world, he imagines protecting Catherine from marriage or any male relationship and wants her for himself. While Eddie wavers and switches between communal and state laws and cultures to discriminate against Rodolpho, his motivations do not change, regardless of the fact it is often at the expense of others. Throughout the play, Miller creates uncomfortable situations for the reader/viewer, caused by the emergence of Eddie’s unusual ‘love’ for Catherine. This is shown in particular in act one, when Catherine

Beatrice and Eddie experience a great deal of emotional conflict. They undergo this emotional conflict throughout the entire play, an example of this is when Beatrice says to Eddie “Tell her goodbye forever.” But then also says to Catherine “Then we all belong in the garbage.” The phrase she says to Eddie highlights Eddie’s desire for Catherine and his hamartia and this quote accentuates their unrequited love. What she says to Catherine shows the other side to her, being reliable to and dedicated to Eddie at all times even when he doesn’t deserve her loyalty. Near the

If Eddie didn’t truly care about saving the girl, he wouldn’t have shouted. He tried to get everyone's attention to prevent anything from happening. Eddie soon realized that it was too loud for anyone to hear and knew he needed to do something, “He half flew, half stumbled toward her, landing on the metal platform, which ripped through his shirt and split open his skin. He felt two hands on his own. A stunning impact.

The gothic yet romantic work of the author Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, conveys real social issues through unconventional means. The novel focuses around the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, and his creation of a monster that results in numerous repercussions for everyone involved. Shelley uses a fervent tone throughout the novel to enhance the emotions of the characters, for the reader to better experience their mental and physical struggles. Through the author’s use of allusions, metaphor, and apostrophe, the author reinforces that physical appearance does not determine the character of an individual; it is their personal experiences and how that person decides to use those experiences to influence their actions.

Finally the play shows how traditional views of masculinity lead to the tragic ending. After Eddie calls immigration on Marco and Rodolpho, this is the beginning of his unavoidable tragic downfall. Eddie’s value of his respect and masculinity are tested when Rodolpho attempts to apologise and take the blame for “all [their] troubles” in an effort to stop the bloodshed between him and Marco. Eddie refuses to accept this as he “want[s] his name” back and Marco is the one that took it. By “emerge[ing] from the apartment”, Eddie takes his issues into a somewhat public arena to prove to everyone that he is a dominant masculine man when in fact he is the weaker figure compared Marco thus why he brings a knife to the fight, to convince not only the

We need to consider the fact that Eddie’s attraction to Catherine is natural but because our society and religion determines our subconscious desires according to its values and ideas. Miller intentionally portrays Eddie as responsible for his own tragedy because of his refusal and incapability to sort out his subconscious emotions. When Catherine is talking to him about her job as a stenographer and he inquires: “why didn't you ask me before you took a job?” He wants Catherine to ask for his approval before accepting the job. He wants her to ask for permission so he feels like he is the “man”, both of the house and in Catherine’s life.

When his wife passed away, Eddie felt as if he had lost a piece of himself and cut his heart off. Eddie reveals that he felt angry at Marguerite for leaving him so early, but still loved her all the while after she had passed on. Marguerite explains that it is understandable to be saddened by the loss of a loved one, but shows Eddie that just because she left him and their love was not the same as what it once was, does not mean the love is no longer

The Captain explains to Eddie that he did not shoot his leg for nothing. He was trying to stop him from killing himself by going into the fire to save a little girl who may or may not have been there. He teaches Eddie that sometimes it is necessary to make small sacrifices if it means helping someone else, and later on those choices should not be regretted. The lesson of sacrifice causes Eddie to become enraged, but also makes him realize that the Captain had good intentions and was actually trying to save him. The book supports statement by saying, “He felt a welling of something inside him that he had not felt in many years: a fierce, surging flood of anger, and a desire to hurt something” (Albom 86).

In Alfieri’s final speech to warn Eddie that this problem could go further than his immediate family, he tells Eddie that he “won’t have a friend in the world” and “even those who understood will turn against you, even the ones who feel the same will despise you!”. He says this to make Eddie feel bad for the upcoming actions and to bring some reality to him. Miller makes use of several exclamation marks to add a sense of desperation and urgency to Alfieri’s tone of voice to urge Eddie to rethink what may become a catastrophe. Alfieri also goes on to say that “that is my last word Eddie, take it or not, that’s your business”, to inform Eddie that he is giving up with helping him and does not want to be involved anymore, its Eddies choice if he will come to a catharsis or not. Arthur Miller also uses stage directions, in this section of the play, to foretell that Eddie Carbone’s end is near and little can be done from others to prevent it, only Eddie alone.

Miller's introduces the negative aspects of Eddie's character through the omniscient narrator, Alfieri. This is clearly shown when Alfieri say 'His eyes were like tunnels; My first thoughts were hat he had committed a crime.' This suggest that our omniscient narrator thinks Eddie is cable of committing a crime however he may know from experience how a criminal may look if guilty. The word 'committed' could mean that he is not committed to any other way but his, so he would only go according to his way. ' Committed' could also suggest that he is not committed to Beatrice as she says ' "When am I going to be a wife again, Eddie?"

The ability to prevent diseases and alleviate suffering in society has always been among mankind’s greatest objectives and the advances made in the development of vaccines have only served to make this a reality. Vaccination which is defined as the process through which antigenic material is introduced to the body’s immune system in an effort to help develop the ability to fight the pathogen if it attacks the body in the future, is a major contributor to the achievement of this objective. Most countries make it mandatory for any child born at any time to be vaccinated against the WHO recommended vaccine preventable diseases in order to ensure that they are eliminated. The total eradication of smallpox in 1979 was a major milestone in the global health agenda and several more diseases such as measles are potential candidates for total eradication. This paper will analyze the pharmacology related to mandated children vaccinations, efficacy and applicability of the pharmacology, benefits and limitations of pharmacology related to the topic in terms of specific diseases and populations as well as inequities regarding access to the pharmacology related to the topic.

Eddie is a longshoreman and earns his living on the New York docks and he is the plays protagonist but also as a famous Greek philosopher called Aristotle said " The tragic hero is one who is neither villainous nor exceptionally virtuous, moving from happiness to misery through some frailty or error in judgement. " And this is exactly what Eddie Carbone is, a tragic hero. The plot is based around Eddie agreeing to shelter Marco and Rodolfo (his wife, Beatrice's illegally immigrated cousins) while they seek refuge in the Sicilian community of Redhook. As his wife's niece Catherine whom he has unconditional love for as a daughter begins to take a liking to Rodolfo, Eddies love begins to transform into jealousy and hate of Rodolfo and as a consequence Eddie commits an unjustifiable and indefensible act of hatred which in the Sicilian community would be classed as a 'crime' against everybody around him including his family by revealing Marco and Rodolfo to the immigration bureau.
