Abstract:
Mario Puzo, The Godfather of popular fiction. His masterpiece The Godfather opened a new era to gangster fiction which caused a sensation throughout the United States after published, arousing a wide range of comments and praise and was the United States number one best-selling novel in publishing history. The fiction described one of the five dark forces in New York—the Vito Corleone family using a variety of extreme means to achieve a domination role in the whole community of the United States forces of darkness. The extraordinary artistic charm of this novel is: although the description of all the bad guys, the authors adopted wonderful writing skills that make the reader not hate the individual sinner, but the whole sordid and social structure.
The characters throughout the novel are nearly one hundred. The author focused on portraying more than twenty, and most of which are the “typical characters in typical environments.”
There are three part in the paper. The first part offers a brief introduction of the author of the Godfather along with the story context. The second part is the literature review. The third part is to analyze characters in feminist perspective. Respectively, from the three levels: seeming analysis of the characters; analysis of dilemma of character; method to solve the dilemma of character. The fourth part is a summary of the whole essay.
Key words: feminist; Godfather; humanity; time background; patriarchal system
