The Deaths in Blood Brothers by Willy Russell
Willy Russell was inspired to write the play Blood Brothers when he looked at his own life. He takes the starting point as twins at birth to write the play. I feel that the twins actually represent the two life styles he had during his life. When he was young his life wasn't that luxurious, he was known as a failure at school; I think this represents Mickey. Although he was a failure he had one passion, writing, he went to college and became a famous play writer. He got a lot of money and he became rich. I think that this part of his life represented Eddie.
The play starts as The Mother has twins, as she cannot handle it she gives one of her babies

They live their certain ways, but they become friends and make a blood brother pact "I will always defend my brother." They are not always the best of friends as they meet Linda, who Mickey marries but gets very jealous as she hangs around with Eddie. This leads into hatred on Mickey's side and leads to him threatening to kill him. But who is to blame for this?
What makes this show so brilliant is that there are very few main characters. There are the two brothers, Mickey and Eddie, Linda, The Mother and Mrs. Lyons all of which where partly responsible for the deaths in Blood Brothers. However you have to think between the lines when deciding who really was most to blame.
The most miniscule characters even can be responsible for some goings on in the play, Sammy who was known as Mickey's brother, doesn't actually say a line throughout the entire play but he told Mickey that he saw Linda with Eddie. Mickey, Linda's husband, who obviously gets jealous, has an argument with her and finds out that the only reason he has the job and a house is because Eddie made it happen for him.

One of the main parts in the play but never actually named. We are introduced to her by the narrator calls her "that woman, with a stone in place of a heart?" This tells me that Willy Russell is implying that she is the reason for their deaths. Although, he is actually asking a question, I think the audience will feel that The Mother is actually a caring mother that does the best for her children. She is only responsible as she tells them that they are both brothers, resulting in Mrs. Lyons reacting to murdering them. There are other things to take into consideration like how Linda actually rang The Mother and Mrs. Lyons and that is why they were actually there.
I think that if we go back to the beginning of the play, the first thing that resulting into this event taking place is Mrs. Lyons making up the superstition in the first place. If we go to the other extreme and see the last thing resulting into the loss of the brothers is that Mrs. Lyons actually shooting them, she was the murderer. That is why I think Mrs. Lyons is most to

The loss of a loved one is never easy, and for author and memorist Coren Beck it shook him to his existential core and became the catalyst for a deep soul searching journey in which the exploration of his spiritual fortitude became a necessity that ultimately changed the course of his life. In his debut novel The Dead Brother Club, which memorializes his experiences, author Beck unflinchingly invites readers into his conflicted, grief shaken world and spiritual sojourn, which was started by the sudden and accidental death of his seventeen year old brother, Billy.
He started off in life rather poor and had to go long ways to help his family by finding a job to help his family financially as I said because they weren’t rich. He went from paying $20 annually for rent for the place he was living at to renovating a mansion for $10,000,000. Instead of staying in the situation he was in as a young kid he decided to give himself a great life by working for it.
