In What Way Does The Final Scene of trifle 1 Demonstrate dramatically TheTensions Between The Char portrayalers Which Will Lead to Tragedy?The final scene of Act 1 in Arthur Millers A View From The Bridgedemonstrates dramatic tension in a variety of different ways. It ismade fairly muster out from the final moments of the act when Alfierireturns to the stage that the play will end in catastrophe. Miller showsthis by dialogue between the characters and in the plentifulstage directions with which he liberally sprinkles the text. There isa range of conflict present in the scene. The central conflicthowever, involves Eddies unacknowledged jealousy towards Rodolfothis is the strongest.The above dispute is clearly visible when Eddie goes to visit Alfierifor the first time. He makes insubstantial claims about Rodolfos versed persuasion without ever calling him a homosexual. Eddie assertsto Alfieri that the guy aint right and that he aint no tenor. Hecontinues by adding that if one was to enter a room when Rodolfo wassinging, you wouldnt be looking for him, youd be looking for her.He is incredulous that there is no recourse in the law that will retain Rodolfo, a submarine or vicious immigrant, from marryingCatherine.When he leaves Alfieris office, Eddie has made it clear he wouldnever betray the cousins. Nevertheless the audience is made to detectthat he may yet take the recurring theme of individual(prenominal) justice into hisown hands, if not by informing the authorities of their illegalpresence in the country, then by some other means. This is shown bythe extent of Eddies anger when he says hes stealing from me and heputs his filthy hands on her like a goddam thief. Miller conveys th... ... the characters that will lead totragedy through the way he very carefully structures the play so thatthe central tension, Eddie versus Rodolfo, increases as the actionunfolds. This is true of the minor tensions too, e.g. Beatriceversus Eddie. The tensions themselves ar e built up by the pithydialogue and the meticulous stage directions, e.g. rubbing his fistsinto his palms diverting their attention he senses he is exposingthe issue and he is driven on. Miller mimics Greek tragedy with achorus - Alfieri - who comments on the action. Alfieri does this supposewell and is constantly hinting at the tragic ending he knows is personnel casualtyto unfold. Ironically, after the first few scenes the audience realisethat Alfieri was right at the beginning and the play is going to endin tragedy. How it will pose about is still unclear at the end of Act1, however.
