Manny Week Two: Archetypes

During the story, we now experience a new situational archetype, the journey. The character that goes on the journey is Michael. He is sent there for his own safety because nobody in the mafia kills a cop. This trip for Michael is actually benefitting him because he "gained" a wife and if you look at your Hero's Journey handout, it says the journey sends the hero in search of some truth that will help save his kingdom.

An example of Michael getting some truth is were one of his bodyguards tries to kill him by bombing his car. Through this experience, Michael gains the knowledge to trust no one and you see this knowledge in action during the end of the Godfather and during the Godfather Part II.

  1. I agree Manny, "trust" is one of the key words in the Godfather. Trust rarely exist in the godfather world.
