The character discussed in this essay is a longshoreman namedEddie Carbone - a responsible family man animate in the roughneighborhoods of Red hook, Brooklyn, New York. A Sicilian connectionbound by a strict social code. Eddies credentials argon comparedagainst Aristotles view of a tragic hero one who is neither nefarious or virtuous, moving from a high happy status to a miserableone through some frailty or misunderstanding in judgment.

Finding your owndaughter sexually attractive is an easy thing. He has made us wonder Is incest really that bad?
