How does Miller create melodramatic tightness between Marco and Eddie at theend of Act One?So far in the bidding Marco and Rodolfo afford illegally immigrated toAmerica, seeking cling to with their cousin Beatrice and her husbandEddie. Living with them is Catherine, their niece, who falls head overheels in love with Rodolfo. Eddie is not happy, as he is incrediblyoverprotective of Catherine. This overprotectiveness turns to prehensiley, which turns into an obsession. At the end of Act One allfive characters ar in the living room, sharing a cosy after dinnerchat.At this point of A View From The Bridge Eddie is looking ating intenselyjealous of Rodolfo and he doesnt really understand why. He talks toAlfieri about(predicate) it, yet Alfieri seems to immediately understand what isgoing on and just in front this scene hints at the bloody outcome ofthis tale. Marco, too, recognizes Eddies feelings for Catherine,though he appears to be the only one in the family who sees it.The pre monition in Alfieris soliloquy make the audience think. Itmakes them ask question deal whos going to die? How are they going todie? Why are they going to die? The audience want to know the answersto all of these questions correct at the beginning of the play and leave behindstart to guess what will happen, yet they have to pay attention tounderstand what is going on and make predictions.The personalities of the characters greatly affect the tension of thispart of the play. For example, if Marco were not so silent and still,his threat would not be so obvious. When he takes a chair, places itin front of Eddie, and looks down at it it is a contrast to his inborn behaviour. Eddie, however, still does not get it, as hebelieves that the worl... ...gland, for example, where the sense of community is muchless, the dramatic tension would not exist. In fact the blank spacewould probably not have arisen at all. Catherine would have had morefreedom, Eddie and Beatrice would have attended marriage counsellingand most likely Marco and Rodolfo could have immigrated legally. Theplay would be quite boring.In conclusion, many things contribute to the tension at the end of ActOne. It would be nearly impossible to have the kindred sort of tension ifjust one aspect of the play was changed. The tension would probablyremain but it would be utterly different. It could be more or lesseffective than the way it is now, but I feel it would be more likelythat a master playwright like Arthur Miller would understand what hewas doing, and would try and make the play as dramatic as he could, toget his point across.
