Originally posted by olivant: Remember, in the novel, Michael tells Vito that it's not just out of revenge for Appolonia and Sonny that he is doing this. He told him that it's also the right thing to do. So, his nature is to view murder as right.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that. Mike, just like Vito, took EVERYTHING personally and revenge was done for personal reasons, not because it was "right".
