37+ Best Fredo Corleone Quotes, The Godfather

About Fredo Corleone The Godfather

Fredo Corleone is a fictional character from the Godfather franchise in both The Godfather novel and film. He is portrayed by John Cazale in both the novel and film. It is speculated that in the film, Fredo Corleone is about 25 years old, while in the novel, Fredo is closer to 1

Fredo Corleone is the second son of Vito Corleone and therefore the younger brother of Sonny and older brother of Michael and Connie Corleone. Fredo shares his intelligence and tender heart with his mother, but not his father’s Machiavellian ruthlessness.

Fredo’s role in the family was always to be the peacemaker, the family’s “good son.” His older brother, Sonny, would not have been described as the family’s “good son.”

Fredo is a man who is not driven by success and should not be part of the family’s business. He does not have the same if any, characteristics of his father, he does not have the leadership skills of his older brother and he does not have a heart of a soldier.

Fredo is a side character in the film as he is not seen as much but his role in the film is very important. He helps Michael and Kay and helps them escape from the hospital but when he is captured, the family has to pay off a guard to let him go.
