Kay Adam is a fascinating character to look at. As far as the movie goes, one significant characteristic of her is her red outfits: she always wears red. This makes us wonder how the color “red” relate or reflect to who she is and what roles does she play in the God father. I have brainstorm some of the things “red” could symbolize. Red can symbolize intense passion, aggression, blood, love and danger. One that draws me attention is “danger” because Kay, a normal girl, having Michael being her boyfriend and stepping into the complex Corleone family would have to encounter many dangers. Red can also draw attention to things. Maybe initially, her outfits indirectly inform the viewer to pay attention to Kay because she is an important character in the Godfather.
Kay is non-Italian, at the very beginning of the story she is somewhat of an outsider which symbolizes Michael's initial desire to live a more Americanized life, this is in contrast to the Corleone family's criminal enterprises.

Great job Fion. I like your idea about danger and I find it really effective to highlight some words red. Also, your idea about Kay being a non-Italian and symbolizing Michael's desire to live a more Americanized life really interesting.
