The Godfather Part 1: Archetype
So far, there is one archetype that is clearly visible. In the "Hero's Journey" by Joseph Campbell, Joseph Campbell stated that in mythology, if one has a companion, the friend will stay with the main character throughout the story and help out wherever possible. In the "The Godfather Part 1", Don Corleone has many companions or people he could trust. He is always consulting with them and depending on his followers to carry out his orders.

There is also another archetype for example in the Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell, it talks about a special weapon and in the Godfather they talked about a special weapon which was the gun that Michael killed Sollozzo and Captain McLusckey with.
