Introduction
The section I will be writing about occurs after Eddie has seen Alfierito express his concerns about Catherine and Rudolpho.
There is a lot of tension between the characters. For example Eddie does not like Rodolpho because Eddie thinks he is a homosexual because Rodolpho has unnatural blonde hair and he looks like a woman.
It is through the dialogue and action that the dramatic tension is built up. We often have to look below the surface meaning to see the underlying tension.
Arthur Miller uses this symbolism to show that Eddie thinks there is something artificial about Rodolpho. Eddie says, " I heard that they paint the orange to make them look orange". He is relating this to Rodolpho's hair colour, which is he thinks, is fake. He also thinks Rodolpho is fake because his love for Catherine is not genuine and he also used her to get the citizenship passport. The audiences know there tension during this conversation because Eddie swears saying " Chris's sake".
Eddie tells a joke about Marco's wife he says that when a man goes back they count their children and they're a couple extra of them when they left. It is very insulting when Marco says about his wife is sleeping with another man. Marco did not understand Eddie's joke so Eddie takes the advantage by saying sarcastic word. Marco does not want to leave his family; he had to come because he has not enough money to spend for food and other things. So he comes here to make money.
