Thanks

"His eyes were like tunnels; my first thought was that he had committed a crime, but soon I saw it was only a passion that had moved into his body, like a stranger."

In the quote, from Act I,
Alferi describes Eddie's appearance at their first meeting, to the audience.
Alfieri truly believes that Eddie was possessed with, "passion that has moved into his body, like a stranger," and was unable to control him.
The passion discribed by Alfieri is a passion for his niece Catherine. The passion, unreleased and suppressed in his unconscious was a stranger to Eddie's conscious self that actively denied any thoughts of incest or otherwise.
