‘Tally’s Blood’ Textual Analysis – Marking Scheme
1. Any four from the following: Repetition of ‘please’ / Her defence of Franco / Her being ‘almost in tears’ / Her repetition of the fact they loved each other / The fact she says ‘it’s important’ / She says she ‘needs him’ 2. Any two from the following: Her initial reaction being ‘not very pleased to see her’ – Rosinella dislikes Bridget because she reminds her of Franco and what he has done. She ‘scoffs’ – indicates a lack of concern about Bridget’s worries. She looks ‘at Bridget directly’ – she is accusing Bridget of being the cause of Franco acting ‘out of character’. She eyes ‘her up and down’ – suggests contempt. The final stage direction saying she ‘freezes Bridget out’ – sums up her total disregard for Bridget and whatever concerns she has. 3. Any four from the following: He is Italian so he will only marry an Italian girl / He was only having a bit of fun / He would never get what he wanted from an Italian girl / Girls like Bridget get what they deserve / He would only love the girl he married / He never asked Bridget to marry him.

4a) Family Italians are close as a family and only marry Italians. She has worried about Franco because he is family. Franco belongs at home with his family. 4b) Nationality Franco, as an Italian, should never have gone to fight in a war that had nothing to do with him. Italian men only play around with girls outside their own culture as they will get what they want from them. Italians marry Italians. Italian girls are more strictly brought up than Scottish girls. 5. Answers should cover the idea of : War Rosinella’s growing nationalism and bitterness.

Act one, scene twelve is crucial to the play because...
It shows how quickly the Pedreschi’s neighbours have turned on them It shows that Rosinella’s assertions that the war would not affect them were greatly mistaken It develops the themes of prejudice by showing it in reverse (Prejudice towards Italians) Bridget trusts Massimo Shop gets wrecked which jeopardises Pedreschi’s future Mood becomes darker and more violent Massimo shows that he is protective of Rosinella and Lucia Rise in suspicion of Bridget being pregnant because she asks for money/’if only my mum knew’ Hughie and Lucia work together and this may lead to a stronger bond

Br prepared to answer questions as your character. Tally’s Blood

Luigi Ianelli – Character Profile

Ma wife’s going to teach you to clean a chicken.’

Lucia Ianelli – Character Profile
As a ruthless youngster she is very manipulative As she matures she finds Rosinella’s ‘love’ stifling Adopted by her aunt and uncle at the age of 2 Learns about prejudice and racism throughout the play ‘Oh, who’s that lovely wee girl?’

Massimo Pedreschi – Character Profile
No mention of love in marriage – often fight over Lucia – and yet he is a kind, loving man Naturally the head of the household, but weak when it comes to Lucia Interned by the British for 4 years during the war and loses his father Appears to be happy in Scotland and shows compassion and empathy to others Becomes distanced from Rosinella as she grows bitter ‘I used to feel like I had two countries, now I feel I’ve got nowhere’

Rosinella Pedreschi – Character Profile
Sees marriage as inevitable and desirable Manipulative, particularly towards Massimo Devoted to Lucia, particularly because she cannot have her own children Personifies the theme of prejudice Puts her family first at all times and is fiercely protective of them all Becomes cold and bitter towards the end of the play ‘Nobody loves their families like the Italians’

Hughie Devlin – Character Profile
Finds it difficult to express his love as his friendship with Lucia is based on fun Is afraid that his love will not be reciprocated Declares his love for Lucia Very hard working Copes well with the death of his father ‘I have waited years – years- for Lucia. Blending into the background, knowing my place.’

Bridget Devlin – Character Profile
Oldest of 8 (large, catholic family) Head of the family financially as her mother cannot cope with the death of her father Loves Franco sincerely Has an abortion when Franco is at war Encourages Hughie to follow his dreams Spinster Bravely speaks openly to Rosinella ‘Just a wee Scottish Tart for him to practice on’

Hint: Make your way through the characters asking what do they want and what is preventing them from getting it? Be prepared to explain the definition of dramatic conflict along with examples to the class.

What does each event teach us about theme?
Partner Task – Theme : Explore your assigned theme by creating a mind map which outlines: Key events Important quotes Explanation and analysis Why does the writer include this? How does this event help to develop the theme? What does each event teach us about theme?

Nationalism Rosinella is fiercely Italian
Massimo is more aware of the need to become a part of Scottish society Lucia, as a youngster insists on talking Italian Franco regards himself as British rather than Italian or Scottish Rosinella is guilty of racism in her hostility to the Scottish way of life Although Rosinella’s constant comparison between Scots and Italians adds humour to the play, it also carries the important message about how easily nationalism can drift into racism

Prejudice Personified by Rosinella
Rosinella is an immigrant prejudiced towards her adopted country (flipped view of prejudice) Harsh treatment of Italian families by both mob and government Rosinella believes Italians should only marry ‘their own’ and frowns upon Franco and Bridget Rosinella feels Scottish women are cheap and dirty (does this stem from jealousy?) Rosinella can appear to think selfishly in this sense, but may be attempting to protect her family and preserve Italian culture Attack on the shop – prejudice towards Italians

War Massimo’s monologue emphasises the horror of war, even for non-combatants Exposition – threat of war is clear Massimo interred, Franco killed, Daddy drowned, shop attacked Willingness of Franco to serve (and die) in the British army Pointless death of daddy Luigi’s account of the destruction of Monte Cassimo and the villages round about War rips through the heart of Rosinella’s family Reinforces prejudices – Italy and Scotland cut off for years

Role of Women Rosinella cannot read – uneducated
Rosinella presents herself as a martyr – choosing to buy Lucia clothes over herself Rosinella is the unofficial head of the house – manipulating decisions and behaviour Luigi exerts total control over ‘his women’ Do not have equal rights; Bridget is forbidden to go dancing, girls have to get married if they become pregnant, or worse suffer the pain of an abortion rather than live life as an unmarried mother

Role of men Franco sees himself as the romantic hero (supported by his enlistment in the army) Hughie is the opposite of a romantic hero – too shy to admit his love, reluctant to climb the ladder Massimo’s final scene shows him as a romantic hero (with tongue in cheek perhaps) Massimo is naturally the head of the household, but is can be manipulated by Lucia and Rosinella Luigi exerts total control over his women – asking Rosinella to raise Lucia then demanding her back to clean and bring in money ‘Daddy’ is a god-like father figure who keeps tight control over his sons

Rosinella and Massimo Loving, teasing, showing affection in a rough kind of way Very little mention of love Often argue, usually over Lucia Massimo slaps Rosinella Massimo comes to recognise Rosinella’s selfishness and there is an estrangement between them Conversion to Hughie's cause brings Massimo back to her

Love Bridget and Franco
Lucia and Hughie – move very slowly over a period of about 12 years Rosinella and Massimo – apparent solidity of their love takes a knock when he realises the full extent of her selfishness

Family Driving force of Rosinella:
Rushes to look after ‘daddy’ as he is head of the household and must be respected Cannot have children of her own – this upsets her greatly (contrast with Devlin’s family of 8) Dreads losing Lucia Overly keen interest in Franco’s relationship

Franco and… Massimo – strong brotherly affection which survives a bitter fight over enlistment. Franco is a little jealous of Massimo’s break for their father Bridget – Although Franco enjoys his status as heroic figure, he does seem to be genuinely in love with Bridget, prepared to risk his father’s wrath and boasting about her to Rosinella, in spite of her hositlity to Scottish girls

Lucia and… Hughie: Begin as childish sparring partners and never quite lose the fun element of their relationship. This makes it hard for Hughie to speak up and change the nature of their friendship Rosinella: Rosinella is devoted to Lucia, forgetting that she may have to lose her some day. Her lack of children makes Lucia particularly important to her. He spoils Lucia and finds it hard to discipline her. As a youngster Lucia ruthlessly manipulates her aunt. As she gets older, she finds Rosinella’s care for her becoming stifling and she hurts Rosinella with a bitter outburst.
