Middle Stage Talks with Beatrice and judges Rodolpho Talks with Alfieri about his jealousy (contrast) Irrational Jealousy
Climax Climax is reached when Eddie kisses Catherine and Rodolpho Indicating a complete loss of control Also does something unimaginable even by his Standards: Report Marco and Rodolpho Kisses Rodolpho to undermine his Masculinity Laughs at Rodolpho mockingly
Justice 02
Initial Stage Marco's sense of justice is deeply influenced by his cultural background. Personal honor and family hold paramount importance to him. He believes Eddie's betrayal warrants retribution.
Middle Stage Marco's confrontation with Alfieri in prison Illustrates Marco's quest for justice Marco points at Eddie Marco accuses Eddie Marco says, "He killed my children!"

The law 03
Initial Stage Alfieri represents the voice of the law Explains the limitations of the law and the nature of justice in America Can’t help out with Eddies personal vendetta Only illegal thing done is the arrival of the two Brothers
Middle Stage Page 21: Alfieri explains to Eddie that “You have no recourse in the law, Eddie” Nothing can be done so that Eddie is finally happy, legally of course.
Climax The law's limitations become apparent as the legal system fails to address the personal grievances of the characters, leading to the tragic resolution outside of the legal framework. Alfieri reflects on Eddie's fate and the nature of settling for half measures in law and life: "Most of the time now we settle for half, and I like it better. But the truth is holy, and even as I know how wrong he was, and his death useless, I tremble"

Conclusion 05
Conclusion It is an interesting Piece covering the innate nature of a human, especially the irrationality part. Throughout "A View from the Bridge," the evolution of these themes highlights the conflict between personal desires and societal rules, as well as the often-painful clash between individual senses of justice and the established law.
