Abstract
Mafia, a so-called cancer of society, is spreading and infiltrating into every corner of our life. It keeps swelling its insane and powerful ‘empire’ by afflicting the members and eroding the interests in society. To have the issue under control, nations and districts have not stopped the pace of taking measures, no matter in policy or economy. Merely getting acquainted with its pathology will get us locate the cure for the ‘cancer of society’.
Focused on MAFIA, The Godfather is one series of Mario Puzo’s master work and in the thesis, I will demonstrate the primary role by offering the relative plots concerning mafia and the nepotism of American government. By researching domestic and foreign documents, this thesis will apply and combine diverse scholars’ comments and findings, which shall be exemplified by pouring attention on mafia and USA government with real proof. In addition, the characters’ traits, the movie performance, the core organization and the primary form of running the wholly mafia business will also be discussed in the paper.
The thesis’s key point lies on how the mafia smoothly deals with disparate departments of USA government to absorb as more as profit they want, while their crime events can still undergo every corner of society. We take the famous KKK as a typical example. And the significance of this thesis is to explore the mafia and the nepotism with USA government, which plays both positive and negative side.
Key words: The Godfather, mafia, nepotism, American government, Sicily, New York
