The irony of “family” and “honor” in The Godfather is that once someone dies, the families want vengeance and continue to kill other families. One of Corleone’s most trusted friends, Salvatore Tessio tries to arrange for Michaels’’ death and Carlo who was apart of the family (brother in law) was in on the killing of Sunny. The true irony is that Michael orders his guys to kill both of them even though they were apart of the “family” and the dishonor of both these men going against Michael and Sunny.
In this film “man” is defined as masculine and holds responsibility for the family. Man is a strong individual, as The Godfather stated in the starting scene, “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family can NEVER be a “Real Man.” I agree to disagree
