I do agree though...that Michael became more coldhearted as the years went on, as loss after loss, betrayal after betrayal (including Kay's abortion) took their toll on Don Michael Corleone.

It's one thing after another. Mike's character is the true "GREEK TRAGEDY" of the whole story. One hurdle after another comes along to knock him down.....Starting w/ the hospital scene in part 1 he is doing what he thinks is right(defending his 'family') but he is 'star crossed' from the beginning. Part 2 is a steady decline and hard to watch sometimes.
