The Theme
Within the Godfather (or up to from what we have seen), there are multiple displays of similar storylines that have been created or illuminated in past texts. Themes of nobility, love and desire have been popular literary discussion triggers in our novels studied in the past. This is evident through the representations of love, desire and nobility in Twelfth Night, where Duke Orsino is victim to his grasps of love, and is captivated by his emotions and overwhelmed by his desire for Olivia and “all I need” (1.1) mentality. Is this man’s human nature or is he just so arrogant that he has to constantly be “in the middle of [the] picture” (1.1) all the time?
Shakespeare’s display of a comedic romance is a genius and captivating storyline that could be known as one of the ‘birth places’ for our current plots today. The obscurity and the content of mismatched characters and lost protagonists is directly a result of the past works that have made success. The Godfather is a work of success because it follows along the guidelines that have generated success over the past centuries of storytelling. The similar style of raw humour and understated plot thickening moments, set the perfect stage for an expected unexpected performance.
