The Youngest Corleone.

You might think that my favorite character in The Godfather would be the godfather himself, Don Corleone. This isn’t true, his youngest son, Michael, is definitely my favorite.

Michael Corleone is the youngest son of Don Vito Corleone.. He is the smartest and most determined of the three kids. He was quiet and soft spoken. Michael never wanted to become involved in his father “business.” It was not for him. He had always planned to become a politician, a senator or maybe even president. Michael attended Dartmouth College for several years and later joined to marines, which his father disapproved. Michael never wanted to impress his father, he wanted to make a honest living.

Michael was somewhat forced into the family business. After returning home from serving in World War II, a man named Sollozzo attempts to murder his father. Michael is known as the cool tempered and easy going person in the family, but deep down he wants revenge. Michael murders Sollozzo and a police captain that was involved in the assassination attempt. He is now a part of the “family business.”

After Michael’s oldest brother Sonny is murder, Michael assumes the role of Don and control all of the families operations. It turns out that Michael is the most suited to run the family business. He is the smartest, most determined, cold-blooded, and ruthless. Michael returns the Corleone family as the most powerful in all of New York.

Michael Corleone was a great leader, even though he never planned to get involved with the mafia. He had values that he didn’t want to give up. He had goals and aspirations that were never reached. He was sucked into a life of crime, just like the rest of his family. It was meant to be for him. I guess you can say that it was in his blood.
