Michael's "destiny"? - 03/18/18 06:20 PM
"A man has but one destiny."
That's what Vito said, regretfully, when Sonny told him he didn't want to go to law school--he wanted to be in the "olive oil business." Do you think Michael was destined to be Vito's successor, a lifelong criminal and Mafia kingpin? Or, was he a gangster by choice?
[N.B.: Webster's defines "destiny" as: "the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future - she was unable to control her own destiny"
