And Kay nailed it but good in III, when she and Michael had their confrontation at his party. Michael bellows that "I spent my life protecting my family from the horrors of this world." And Kay replies, "But you became my horror." Perfecto, Kay!
True enough, but I wonder if Michael really saw the world as a place filled with horrors from which he had to protect his family. The "horrors" he refers to are mostly "horrors" he brought on himself, and the idea it was his burden to protect them from these horrors shows how totally deluded he was.
