If you take a look at the history of the family we learn that a little boy has lost his father because of an offense or a refusal to poor little Vito witnessing his own mother being murdered right in front of him to him getting shot because of his son's clumsiness, to his youngest unwillingly to take over the family-- we are meant to sympathize with this family! With all this history is good enough for me to sympathize with and even care for these people.
I dont sympathize. I know people who have had rough lives yet they went on to live a good honest life despite the hardships they had. Those people i respect. Mike and Vito used violence to gain money and power and they paid for it in the end. You reap what you sow
