The Wisdom of the Sopranos Part 31 (Season 3 Episode University)

Interference, boundaries and extreme measures are the key lessons of this episode.

It's wise to remember that you are not always welcome in conversation. 

Know your place, don't interject when not wanted.

Don't overstep your boundaries with not only verbal  but physical interactions as well.

(One very small example is Meadow raising her glass to have her mother fill it.   She doesn't of course.  Meadow is a grown woman.  She has to get her own juice now.)

Hard lesson that many people face in their lives is when you give someone something they want and once they get it they leave.  It makes you, rightfully so, more cautious in the future.

Some people take extreme measures in dealing with issues.  Noah placing a restraining order on Meadow's roommate because she talked while he was studying and he got a poor grade.  Ralph beating his mistress to death because she had the nerve to expect him to marry her after getting her pregnant.
