Instead of making the comparision between Ed and Sanjuro, I wanted to point out the character similarities that struck me as I watched Yojimbo. I found it interesting the similiarities between Janet Henry and the matriarch of the Seibei clan (sorry I can’t remember her name and couldn’t find it on imdb). They both appeared intelligent and to some extent running their families from within (more so on the Seibei matriarch.) However they both end up being underminded to different extents (Janet is just proved wrong, the Seibei matriarch is chopped up by Sanjuro.)
I don’t know if this was done purposely by the director of Yojimbo, but it’s very interesting to me. Also, could someone enlighten me if there is a name for this type of character female or not?
