The Women Who Made The Sopranos - Soprano Theories

[@JackBirdbath]

Excellent comment, totally agree. Also, that was not my kid she was carrying

[@dr3dg352]

My favorite woman (and character) in this show of ours is Angie. Seeing her become a competent associate on her own is immensely gratifying.

[@seanswinton6242]

Yes, nothing was cooler than seeing the looks that Carmela showed when Angie put money down for the silent auction and when Angie clicked the car locks on the car she bought on her own! Carmela's jaw dropped like her self-esteem knowing that she had nothing to do with the car Tony gave her. Angie had risen like a phoenix from the ashes to become a player in the game while Carmela sat on the sidelines looking!

[@mochilover7053]

It was cool and subversive, but it still might've gotten her killed or hurt.

[@dr3dg352]

@@mochilover7053 That's very true! As much as I like Angie's plotline, no one involved in that thing of theirs is safe. After watching the show a few times, I realized all there is to organized crime is a pyramid scheme with violence and the risk of death.

[@chrisbuck96]

Carmela and Charmaine are the main women to focus on because Carmela had everything but had nothing at the same time and was miserable and spoiled …Charmaine however had very little compared to Carmela but yet was very happy with her life

[@mmaallday118]

She had a idiot for a husband who chased skirts, was a weak man who faked power because of friendship with Tony. Pure poser who tried to even dress tough but got best up by the french guy, never appreciated his life, family or restaurant. She was just as delusional as Carm to a degree. Just better moral boundaries

[@jillianbirkbeck3067]

Svetlana also gave Tony a dose of reality, that he wasn't all that.

[@shovedhead]

Watching Adriana's descent was the most tragic story line in the series. Watching Janice's shape shifting was often the funniest.

[@dr3dg352]

I had completely forgotten about her attempt at tapping into the Christian rock market until my most recent rewatch. 😆 Like Aida said, Janice is a survivor.

[@knoelle1357]

The only woman on the Sopranos who seemed genuinely naive about what their sons, brothers, boyfriends, fiancées, husbands was Adriana. She was pretty innocent and guileless. The feds completely exploited that naivety. Saddest loss of the show, easily.

[@robertlee4172]

Irena, the woman who caused the greatest turmoil in Tony's life. Carmela just lost it when she hears of Tony's affair with Svetlana, the one-legged cousin, the caregiver to Livia before her passing. They stood in her house having a shot of vodka, in an intimate moment of grief. The multiple layers of complexity between those four women, put his life in disarray. Tony was surely in the doghouse, then ended up living in his childhood home. The origin of where his psychological trauma began. With that "putrid Soprano gene". Why did Tony have to beat Zelman? Because he truly felt betrayed by Irina.

[@ThatGuy-ky2yf]

Tony beating Zelman is easily one of the most pathetic moments he has in the series. Possibly second to when his childhood coach calls him out on how flawed he is during his dream in season 5.

Wanting a better life doesn't mean she's innocent. And just because she didn't incriminate anyone doesn't mean she's innocent. She knowingly profited from Christopher's job. That's not innocent.

[@tracieivey2397]

Um...the mom on A Bronx Tale did not have the same values as Charmaine. She was willing to take mob money that Sonny offered to pay her husband and her son. Otherwise, great analysis!

[@hlf_coder6272]

The word is manipulative not maniputive. I thought I misheard it the first time but you said that way a couple more times

[@BookshelfQBattler]

Ade's "innocence" is debatable. She knows what Chris and the mobsters are up to. She even participates at the Crazy Horse. There might be something to be said that this was a life she grew up around with her family and didnt know any better but then again was so beautiful she could have easily escaped that life if she wanted to. Where she comes across as innocent is the FBI really takes advantage of her ignorance of the law. She really didn't have to cooperate with them and could have told them to get effed but she was too dumb to know that. But they were trying to take down the mafia so it's understandable they'd use aggressive tactics.

I think the only innocent woman was Charmaine in The Sopranos. Dr. Melfi was a little, shall we say, starstruck by Tony (toodle-oo). They may have even had a bit of a codependent relationship (Tony needed Dr. Melfi to validate that he was 'trying,' and Dr. Melfi needed him to have a truly unique patient). Adriana was living that mob wife-to-be life. Adriana is heart-wrenchingly tragic, but not innocent. However, I acquiesce to the point that we're talking about primary and secondary characters, and Charmaine is more of a tertiary character.

The show was cut off way too early. Had it continued, it would have been interesting to see if Carmella ever finally successfully distanced herself from Tony. She tried with the bird feeder and the spec house, but eventually those plot lines were abandoned. Had it gone on, there might have been some juicy roads to go down. For example, maybe Carmella could have learned that Tony had Ade wacked and that was the last straw that convinces her to testify against Tony and go into witness protection.
