I think this topic is good. It has a lot of examples, and dialogue.
"What're you scared of? He's a rat! He belongs in the sewer" (Page 68). This conflict is between Catherine and Eddie. This is the first time that she has stood up to him, and is a pivotal moment in the play. Instead of putting on 'Paper doll' and dancing, a passive aggressive reaction, she is calling him out for what he is. A rat. 'Sewer' has connotations of dirt and trash, and that exemplifies Catherine's feelings for him. He has fallen so far, and this has created a conflict between them. Eddie has caused this for himself, as he has betrayed her in one of the worst ways; trying to deprive her of love.

Eddie knew that he was doing wrong but he decided to still call the immigration bureau. we can tell that Eddie realises what he is doing is wrong when he finally figures out that there are another two people upstairs and that they are related to the butcher. This is when Eddie rushes to try and get all of the people out and this is how it relates to betrayal.

Eddie has violated everything he believes in. As a result, he is in denial about what he has done. Until the very end, he presents himself as the victim, as if Marco has done him a great wrong in accusing him of informing immigration. "He knows that ain't right. To do like that? To a man""
"Wipin' the neighbourhood with my name like a dirty rag! I want my name, Marco."
"Marco knows what's right from wrong. Tell the people, Marco. Tell them what a liar you are."

Eddie could be considered a tragic hero at the part where he goes to Alfieri to tell him there’s something wrong with Rodolpho in order to “save” Catherine from R taking advantage of her. He can be considered a tragic hero in this case and he is willing to do anything to protect Catherine. He wanted to do what he thought was best for her.

when Alfieri goes to talk to Marco about bailing him out of jail, he ask Marco to make him a promise. to not kill Eddie. and when Marco is told that he says "in my country he would be dead now." this shows the Italian side of the "law" as it is what is deserved and is justice for what happened. Alfieri is in a middle ground between American law and Italian justice as he lived in Italy for half his life.

When Beatrice lets Eddie know that Catherine is getting married next week; he wasn’t prepared for it. Hence the built up tension that he expresses by venting and lashing out at B and Catherine. This followed by his incident with Marco etc.

"You lied about me, Marco, Now say it. Come on now, say it!"
Eddie was a well respected man who people once thought was a good person, however when Marco shouted at him and started saying that Eddie killed Marco's children it tarnished the good reputation Eddie had upheld, so he started calling Marco a liar and tried to make him say that he had just made that up.

Rodolpho is desperate to prevent Eddie's death so he tries to warn him. His urgency creates dramatic tension because we know, through his dialogue, that Marco is serious.

Eddie at the beginning of the story seems like a man that cares about his family and slowly descends in to madness. His downfall begins as soon as Rodolpho walks through his front door. Rodolpho and Catherine's relationship  really shows Eddie's manipulative and controlling personalty.

The law set up boundaries, the law kept restrictions and kept Eddie in check. The law, technically kept Eddie from acting out sooner. The law was what, in a way, united the community - in an effort to help each other and bide my community law, as well as escaping American law.

One of the admirable qualities of a man is his ability to accept and respect on his own faults.
For Eddie however, even when everyone knows he’s at fault, instead of admitting to it, he would deny it. “... you accusin’ me”. This shows how much of a coward he actually is.

'You want somethin' else, Eddie, and you can never have her!'. This conflict is between Beatrice and Eddie. Beatrice has had enough, and has finally expressed her true thoughts, and Eddie's for that matter. This is her way of expressing to Eddie (and the whole family in the room) that he needs to stop having these inappropriate feeling for Catherine.

'That one! He killed my children! That one stole the food from my children!' (Page 64). This conflict is between Eddie and Marco (Marco speaking in the example dialogue), and is the first time that Marco has expressed is hate for Eddie (in words). Marco is showing what Eddie has taken from him when he called the immigration; Eddie has essentially killed his children.
