Quote #4
"Your blood is tied to the blood of your brothers." (15.45)
So—big question here—if all people are tied to the history and blood of their family, do they have free will, or are their lives determined by the actions and lives of others that came before them?
Quote #5
"I do not want you to waste your life in dreams, like your father." (15.86-87)
Antonio's free will takes a bit of a hit from his sense of duty. He so badly wants to fulfill the hopes and dreams of his parents that he struggles to discover what it is he truly wants and believes for himself. This struggle is complicated by the fact that, as seen in this dandy little quote, that his parents' hopes for him are directly at odds with each other.
