The character discussed in this essay is a longshoreman namedEddie Carbone - a responsible family man living in the roughneighborhoods of Red hook, Brooklyn, New York. A Sicilian conjunctionbound by a strict social code. Eddies credentials are comparedagainst Aristotles view of a tragic hero one who is neithervillainous or virtuous, moving from a high happy status to a miserableone through some frailty or error in judgment. by means of out the playwe witness the development of this as we see Eddie fall from his highstatus in the union to losing everything, his family, respectedname in the community and e ven his life. By witnessing his downfall(nemesis) the audience is moved to pity (pathos) because he suffersfrom a frailty that we recognize which could have happen to us. Thisis what makes him a tragic hero.Although fate plays a large part in his downfall, much of the eventsconspiring against him are caused by his flawed characteristics andwrong doings. So in this essay I will be determining whether EddieCarbone disserves our pity.Eddie Carbone is respected in his community, seen as a reliabledominant longshoreman who was as good as a man he had to be in a lifethat was hard and even. His name represents a lot in his communityand brings pride back home. He is a caring family man, Beatrice unremarkably gives in to his dema... ...he cruel reality of thesociety.Being an uncle, the level of incest is not as strong compared tofather and daughter relationship. The gap between illegal family lawsis smaller creating a stronger temptation for Eddie which makes hisincestuous feeling difficult to ignore. And after all Eddie was nevermeant to have a destiny Eddie has lost everything, his family, hisconfidence in the community, friends etcetera. Basically eddie hasalready been paid back for all the faults he uncontrollably committed.I believe miller has succeeded in making us feel pity for Eddie.I find Eddie has represented a lot of individuals with incestproblems, shown us how easily it was to be a victim and howemotionally difficult it is to free yourself. Finding your owndaughter sexually attractive is an easy thing. He has made us wonder Is incest really that bad?
