Defeats Roth--but has to kill Fredo for betraying him. Outsmarts the Senators--but loses Kay. Finally gains control of Immobiliare--but beloved daughter killed in the process. Dies broken-hearted in Sicily, attended only by a little dog...
Any one of those negatives could have happened without the prior positive.
I dont see the analogy those.... Roth was the battle and Fredo was the war?? etc... etc... etc...
"What I want.... whats most important to me... is that I have a guarantee" - Train approaches.... Bang! Bang! Bang!
