How is Catherine important to A View From the Bridge by Arthur Miller?
Manage episode 416971647 series 3573017
This podcast looks at the character of Catherine and how she represents youth and vitality in Arthur Miller's play. She catalyses Eddie Carbone's tragic fall and also provides a foil to his wife, Beatrice. Arguably she replaces one patriarchal authority for another when she marries Rodolpho, but there are signs Catherine has learned to assert her own desires, which could represent growing independence and freedom for women in post war America.
