Miller's A View from the Bridge, originally written in 1956 as a one-act play, has many characteristics of a classical Greek tragedy. It is set in the Italian-American neighborhood, located in Red Hook, near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. It is in this community that Miller chooses to dramatize the themes of conflict, betrayal, love and obsession. The underlying silence is present throughout the work and is the reason for the conflict as it is challenged by Eddie Carbone, the Italian longshoreman, who destroys himself in a clash between his blind passions and the primordial ideas of his own people on right living. , Miller creates the classic Italian-American "family man" who strives to be the breadwinner and carries on with a sense of familial pride and duty. Eddie feels it is his duty to take care of his family and keep his word as he says, "Katie, I promised your mother on her deathbed." I am responsible for you.' It is clear that family is very important and he has very strong family values ​​that he tries to maintain, a sign of the Italian family where the man feels the duty to keep his word and take care of the entire family, just as he is the head of the family . This accentuates the concept of masculinity which is further reinforced by Eddie's outdated views, his inability to understand younger generations and also the conflict of interest and duty to family between Eddie and Rodolfo. Eddie, the 'respectable family man', feels no honor for Rodolfo who buys, with his first money, 'a snappy new jacket...,' he records [while] his brother's children starve of tuberculosis. ' He feels that Rodolfo, having no relatives of his own, should help his brother who is also the father of a family. This highlights the fact that in Eddie's mind,... in the center of the paper... from our chosen image of what or who we are in this world' (Miller). Miller's choice of an Italian-American community is very good. It allows him to successfully convey the concept of masculinity in his true environment where there is an underlying social code that is broken by the tragic protagonist and his masculinity, which is questioned resulting in the individual struggling to obtain his "status legitimate" and overcome his flaws, causing an upheaval to society that is only resolved by this person's death. It is very similar to that of a Greek tragedy with the chorus, Alfieri, which constitutes a strong link both in terms of being the chorus and the origin of his name, a writer of eighteenth-century tragedies. It is essential to elevate the work, from a mediocre tragedy to which masculinity contributes, to the same level as any other classical tragedy.
