I believe in America. America made my fortune. I raised my daughter in American tradition. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to destroy the honor of the family.
She met a non-Italian boyfriend. They went to the movies together. They stayed out until late at night. I didn’t protest. Two months ago, he and another friend took her in a car. They made her drink whiskey. Then they tried to abuse her. She protested, defending her honor. Then they beat her like an animal.
When I got to the hospital, her nose was broken, her ligaments were broken and she was tied with wires. She couldn’t even cry because of the pain. But I cried. Why did I cry? She was the light of my life. A beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful.
As a good American, I went to the police. They brought those two men to court. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison, but suspended the sentence! They were released that same day! I stood there like a fool in court. They both laughed at me.
Then I said to my wife, “We have to go to Don Corleone for justice.”
(The story continues…)
As the Corleone family faces changes, Michael Corleone gradually takes over from his father. He takes control of the family business, political power, and social influence. After the murder of Sonny Corleone, Michael becomes a more hardened and complex character.
After learning that his sister Connie’s husband, Carlo Rizzi, is involved in Sonny’s murder, Michael punishes him. All this happens on the day of Connie’s baby’s baptism. While the baby’s religious rites are taking place in the church, Michael orders all the family’s enemies to be killed.
After Carlo’s death, Connie angrily blames Michael. But Michael tells his wife Kate not to ask about these things. Thus ends the story with Michael Corleone fully becoming the new Don of the family.
This is not just a story about a family. This is a story about power, family, honor and revenge. Every decision is made for the good of the family. But the consequences of those decisions change their lives forever.
