I agree that my words were a bit rash but the idea remains intact still. His primary focus in life was self, more so than even the most arrogant. To essential leave your wife because she is no longer of use to your work is awful. I think his love for his dad was great and for his sons too, but for his sons it was a bit twisted in having them swear the oath with him they brought much pain and suffering to them. Again he loved his sons but because of his self-importance they followed him through pain and sorrow that didn't necessarily need be.
