1. The word 'Justice'
2. Called as the godfather
3. dictionary meaning of hero: "the chief male character in a book, play, or movie, who is typically identified with good qualities."
The common thing about the other heros and Don (Vito Corleone) is that they all give people a justice. In the beginning of the movie. Bonasera came to him and said "I ask you for justice." By this line, we can predict that Don is on the side of 'good.'
It's hard to believe that Don (Vito Corleone) is a hero, because he's the leader of the mafia, but it's true due to the evidences. He's a powerful character who is identified with good qualities by using his power for the justice rather than making a profit, which is why people call him the godfather.
I agree with you on the fact that Vito is the godfather. You stated that one of the reasons that you think that Vito is the hero is because he is called the godfather. I think that you could elaborate on this idea a bit because even though he has a title does not mean that he is a hero. The Joker had a title but no one considers him a hero. I also think that you could explain some scenes where because he is the leader of the mafia, he is a hero. Something that I found interesting was that he is not just a hero because he delivers justice but is able to help out with other problems. Helping out other people with problems other than justice can make him a hero in the eyes of others.
