    Vito Corleone Vito Corleone of The Godfather trilogy is shown to be the Mafia boss character archetype done right. While the other characters have their own strengths, their weaknesses are brought to light when around Vito. Barzini lacks the class of the don, Ciccio is more petty and cruel, Fanucci is rather brutish, and Michael does not have the warmth and joie de vivre that Vito possesses. While it can be debatable whether or not the “the old man [is] slipping,” he still has the wisdom and intelligence

Their businesses are separated from their personal lives, and nothing is more important than the well-being and safety of the family. While the film focuses on Vito Corleone as the “Godfather
