The law is nature. The law is only a word for what has a right to
happen. When the law is wrong it's because it's unnatural, but in this
case it is natural and a river will drown you if you buck it now. Let
her go. And bless her. Set among Italian-Americans on the Brooklyn
waterfront, A View from the Bridge is the story of longshoreman Eddie
Carbone. When his wife's cousins arrive as illegal immigrants from
Italy, he is honoured to take them into his house. But when his niece
begins to fall in love with one of them, Eddie grows increasingly
suspicious, eventually precipitating his violation of the moral and
cultural codes of his community and leading to the play's tragic
finale. With its examination of the themes of sexuality,
responsibility, betrayal and vengeance, A View from the Bridge is
Miller at his best and a modern classic. This new edition includes an
introduction by Julie Vatain-Corfdir that explores the play's
production history as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic
debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student
exploring A View from the Bridge.
