Abstract
Tony Soprano is someone who worries about tradition and the values embodied in a tradition. He worries about the traditions of his ancestors, his family, and his business enterprises. And he worries a great deal about values like honor and integrity. He often laments that you can’t count on people to live out traditional values or keep their word. And, he does his best to instill these values in the younger generation around him.
