There is no limit to human self-deception. In Fredo's mind, his low self-esteem must have been a product of the fact that he was "passed over"; ergo, if he were the Don, everything would be righted.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
