Fredo


Fredo Corleone

Son of the Godfather and brother to Michael, Santino, Connie, and Tom(unofficial)

As the film indirectly implies, Fredo is the second eldest son of the Family. The only question is...

Who is Fredo Corle
one? What does he do for the family?

Fredo had very little dialogue, especially during the beginning and middle scenes. He does not get much respect. He fumbles with his gun, and family keeps saying he is stupid. As the second eldest, he would seem to be a very important piece of the family, but instead he is always pushed around, even by Michael. It boggles my mind to see that they treat their family that way. As the son of the most powerful Don, I will always wonder why he acts the way he does. We can see it in him that he envies his other family members. Why should they not envy him?

  1. This is an interesting question. Fredo is the one family member whose face I can't remember. It almost seems to me like he was present in the beginning of the film, but after that I stopped noticing him. Who is Fredo?
