In “A View From The Bridge” by Arthur Miller I believe that Eddie is the character who changes most in the course of the play. I will show this by talking about his role in the drama‚ the dramatic devices and use of language by Miller as well as the background and social context of the play. Eddie’s role in the play is the most vital one; he is by far the most important character in the play. It is‚ after all‚ his inability to deal with his emotions that triggers most of the story and the tragedy

Claudius is ambitious man that craves power and unlike other characters of the play he gets and maintains his power in a very immoral way. Claudius‚ because of his obsession to get the power of his brother‚ poisons him and this ignites the start of the revenge going to take place by Hamlet‚ “the serpent that did sting thy father’s life Now wears his crown” (1.5.46-47). Claudius’s brother was a great warrior that probably ruled with ideas of justice and moral balance but Claudius is a corrupt politician

Claudius’ need for power causes him to murder his brother and take the throne. In act 1 scene 5 the Ghost of Hamlet Sr

is the villain of the play; he is extremely evil-minded. Although a lot of the time he does not show it. This comes under a very important theme of Shakespeare’s plays: appearance and reality.
