Honour, reputation and name
Eddie’s deepest value is his "name" - his public standing in the close-knit Red Hook community. His final cry, "I want my name!", makes the theme explicit. Marco’s honour code is starker still: an insult to his brother must be answered with physical retribution. Miller builds the play around the collision of two forms of the same value, each of which demands Eddie’s destruction.
Key moments: Eddie’s conversation with Alfieri; Marco spitting in Eddie’s face; the final street confrontation.
