Vito is God
If Vito from The Godfather was literally God; that would make Micheal, Satan. Think about it. I assume "Vito" means life, like in vitality or Spanish "viva", and Micheal was the favorite son. Although both Micheal and Satan begin their live following their fathers' wishes, they soon revolt and all things of goodness are taken out of their lives. In Satan's case, he is banished from heaven to hell, and in Micheal's case, he looses his family and is forced into solitude. Although I can't know this for sure, even though Micheal makes a lot of decisions that Vito wouldn't have approved of, I still feel that Vito loves him in the same way that God still loves Satan after his rebellion.

I can see that. You can change it a little to include Fredo.

Michael is Jesus
Fredo is Satan
Vito chose Michael to be his successor and Fredo felt passed over. Fredo got angry and betrayed Michael so as to gain his position as the new godfather. This is similar to how God created Jesus and replaced Satan with Jesus. Satan felt like he was not being appreciated for what he should be and tried to overthrow God. Except God sent Satan to Hell and Michael just sent Fredo to sleep with the fishes.
Wonder where Sonny and Connie fit in here?
ReplyDeleteI really like this connection. I could really see Michael being Satan and I think that Sonny and Connie would just be two of God's children.
