Alfieri's speech page 69
'let her go and bless her'

at the start we didn't knpow its purpose
matches A's 'runs its bloody course'
instinctive act of passion
Eddie's unease
moving about restlessly
the images attacthed to him in act two are a lot about animals

biting his lip
everything about him is filled with guilt and unease

loss of power
dramatic irony

his hubris
arrogance that overeaches himself
' Maybe he come to me...I want my name Marco'
'like in the bible
shows he sees himself as God like
page 90
even when he dies
'my bea'
we never get the moment of realisation from him even though everyone else has
A: 'his death is useless'
E's lack of understanding=the audience being left deflated because its such a needless death
Women

why can't a be a more compasssionate place

'i don't forget that you remember that
you cant make a decision just for you and your famiy
the coomunity all have to gather because of his actions
you cant live for yourself because it always impacts others
Marco's prioritues have always been protecting his family
domino effect
one local effect will spread internationally
page 82
'to hell with Eddie
complete rejection of him
Marco: 'his anger rising' 'he degraded my brother my family '
he sees E as a thief as E sees R as a thief by taking C
all about a conflict between the legal system and the ethics that people live by
honour and law
italy as the old world and america as new
