This happens due to the different lives of Vito and Michael who have different personalities in the world of mafia families. Michael’s character change was caused by the deep trauma when his father, Don Vito Corleone, was shot by the enemies. Research on psychoanalysis is essential to understanding this research as it can provide deeper insights into the motivations, behaviors, and relationships of the characters reflected in The Godfather.
