Protagonist
Or
Antagonist?
Michael Corleone
Al Pacino

“Michael is the youngest son of Don Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando in The Godfather and Robert De Niro in The Godfather Part II). He is the youngest brother of Sonny and Fredo. He becomes the new Don of the Corleone crime family towards the end of Part I, when his father dies.“ Quote from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Corleone

His flaws are his ties to the family and their undeniable history with violence and corruption. Mruder, Lies and money are all too present with Michael, but so is the overwhelming aim to become “ legitamate “. This begs the question to what is Michael Corleone, a Antagonist or a Protagonist?
