Who's the hero of the Godfather?

   In the movie "The Godfather," Vito Corleone is the hero. It's hard to distinguish who's the hero yet because story haven't been developed much, however, we can make an assumption by the symbols and allusions. I think the hero is Vito Corleone because of the following reasons.
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.
