week 2 class act by gabe

I think that Francis Ford Coppola portrays the roles of woman in a very chivilrous way. this, in my mind, is supported by the Quote of Don Corleone " Woman can be careless, but men, can never be careless". I think that the reason that women in the godfather are always portrayed as behind the men is actually that the men are standing in front of the women to give them a life that is more careless and happy than that of the men. Men are shown only ever shown enjoying small pleasures, sex, smoking, drinking, eating chinese food and so on ;however all of their lives are part of their job. woman are shown as having a place much a way from the danger and weeryness of the men; abait still with power as is shown with mama corleone's power at the dinner table. My point is this: the reason that the men close the door on the women and keep them on the outside of the office is so that they can be careless and happy in the world the men provide for them.
