Michael Vs. Sonny
At a first glance Michael and Sonny appear to be quite different. Upon further observation, however, they have some similarities. Although they are different in areas of personality, values, and their tempers, they are similar in areas of loyalty, their respect for their father, and their strong family ties. Their personalities are quite different. Sonny is brash and arrogant, where Michael is calm and cool. When Don Corleone was in the hospital and Sonny is in charge, the family got kind of careless. He doesn't seem to care what could happen due to his actions. He wants to kill the police captain and doesn't think about the repercussions. Tom has to tell him that it wouldn't be good to kill a cop, but they end up doing it anyway. I think Michael was pushed into it because of his loyalty to the family. He is more calculating in manner. Near the end when he "takes c
Sonny had a bad temper, while Michael did not. During those times he should have known better, but all he had on his mind was vengeance. He knows that Carlos was involved in Sonny's death, but he lets it go until it is time to deal with it. I think that has to do with the way their Father brought them up, because I feel that he was the role model that they were molded after. Michael on the other hand is fairly calm about things. Sonny was outraged to learn that his sister was the victim of spousal abuse, and wanted to get her husband for it. He is with another women during his sisters wedding, along with a few other times throughout the movie. are of all the family business" on the day of the Baptism is a prime example of this. Their values are another way that they differ. He flew off the handle when he found out that his sister had been beaten and ran out of the house without anyone with him. Michael even gave up a whole year of his life to avenge his father's shooting. Finally they both had strong family ties (towards the Corleone family). When others help them out, they do the same. Sonny's temper ended up getting him killed.
