Answer: Justice

Alfieri's idea of justice is law, however Rodolpho argues that 'All the law is not in a book'. At the end of the play, Alfieri is forced to reconsider what is just and what isn't and the play raises a lot of questions about law and justice.

Alfieri is the lawyer who Eddie goes to see in order to stop his niece getting married to Rodolpho, who Eddie believes is marrying her for an American work permit.

6. What does Alfieri advise Eddie to do about preventing his niece from marrying Rodolpho?

Answer: To let her go

Afieri tells him to 'Let her go and bless her'. It is Eddie's inability to do this that results in the tragic ending of the play.

Answer: Marco

They are both illegal Italian immigrants. Marco has come to get money for his family back in Italy. Both men are Beatrice's cousins.

8. Who dies at the end of the play?

stay in America after the two marry.
