- In the wider sense, Beatrice loves her family in Sicily enough to support her cousins. Family ties are very important.

- Eddie and Catherine, although uncle and niece, have become more like a father and daughter. Eddie made a lot of sacrifices to provide Catherine with the best education he could.

- Marco and Rodolpho have a strong bond - great enough for Marco to lay down his life for his brother's cause.
- Romantic / Unmarried
- Eddie and Beatrice's marriage is obviously not as strong as it used to be: Beatrice asks, "When am I gonna be a wife again, Eddie?" They have not slept together for months

- Catherine and Rodolpho quickly fall deeply in love.
- Love Of A Place
- Rodolpho and Marco love their homeland.
- Rodolpho also loves America. Catherine says, "he's crazy for New York."
