Well put Evita I too believe Michael had “achieved the semblance of legitimacyâ€
I agree completely with Oli and Lou about the broader question of "legitimacy"--Michael defined it on his terms, which both eluded and deluded him, ultimately destroyed him.
Michael may have defined "legitimacy" on his terms but it does not seem to me the "legitimacy" eluded and deluded him, ultimately destroyed himâ€
I believe what destroyed Michael was not having a wife like Camela
If Michael's wife Kay was like Vito's wife Carmela, Michael too would have had it all!
