    I think that when focusing on Chase and his relationship with Joey, we need to look deeper into his past, and create a psychological profile of his character. What we know is that he has quite a history of stealing from people, who most likely trusted him. He began showing this trait very early on. I think that Chase is the type of person who will steal if he is…

    Imagination grants us the ability to explore and discover new meanings surrounding our environment. This form of creative thinking is developed through our interactions with others. Although interactions can allow our imagination to flourish, our limited environment can cause us to feel disgust, thus demonstrating that we must look at our environment through new lens. In the article, “Bumping into Mr. Ravioli”, Adam Gopnik observes his daughter’s developing imagination, which he surprisingly discovers is based on the busy lifestyle of New Yorker residents.

    Mafia; a term most of us make synonymous with crime, murder, money, extortion, bodies in trunks and men with mozzarella on their breath. The hit HBO series The Sopranos encompasses most of these ideas in a more realistic fashion than the movies do. With six seasons comprising of over eighty-six hours of connecting with the cast and it’s boss of the family, Tony Soprano, there’s no question the audience is able to see multiple dimensions of the main characters. James Harold, a modern-day philosopher, proves this by saying “… The gangsters in The Sopranos, especially Tony, are portrayed in deeply psychological and often quite intimate ways” (Harold 300). Tony Soprano shows antagonist qualities by being frequently active in running one of the most powerful mob families in New Jersey; yet at the same time shows protagonist traits by supporting his family through his unlawful doings and making an effort to be a good father/husband. This makes him one of the most complex characters in television. Due to his complexity, we as an…

    Mafia/Italian Stereotypes

    • 522 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A very common Mafia Stereotype is that all Italians are part of a gang. The Sopranos shows this because the soprano family is all Italian and all the people who the family deals with are Italians. Another stereotype is that all gangsters cheat on their wives. In The Sopranos pretty much all the guys have a mistress who their wife doesn't know about. You always see them leave there loving family and then you see them hanging around with a girl which are usually much younger and more attractive than their wife. Also another stereotype which is popular is that the legal business that the mafia leader runs out of is either a bar or nightclub. In The Sopranos Toni, The Gang leader runs his gang out of a night club. One of the biggest stereotype about the mafia is that all of the gangsters can do what ever they ant and they almost never get caught or punished for the crimes they do. In The Sopranos they also make all gangsters look as if they have no feelings for others and don't care about other people. A lot most of gangster/mafia movies are taken place in a big city which stereotypes that all, and only big cities have mobs or mafia figures in them.…
