Description
A View from the Bridge is a powerful one-act play by the renowned playwright Arthur Miller, exploring themes of immigration, identity, and the American Dream. Set in an Italian-American neighbourhood in Brooklyn, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman whose life is disrupted when two illegal immigrants, Marco and Rodolpho, arrive in his home.
The Story
The play delves into complex family dynamics as Eddie's protective instincts over his niece, Catherine, lead to tragic consequences. As Catherine becomes enamoured with Rodolpho, Eddie's latent jealousy and possessiveness escalate, revealing the darker sides of love and loyalty. Miller’s adept use of dramatic tension and rich characterisation crafts a compelling narrative that resonates with audiences.
Why Readers Love It

- Character Depth: Miller’s characters are layered and complex, making them relatable and memorable.
- Poetic Language: The dialogue is infused with a lyrical quality that enhances the emotional weight of the story.
Perfect For
