I was the one that brought up Shakespeare and I'll take the heat if I'm wrong, but feel free to sub in "tragedy with flawed male protagonist who destroys everything around them and everyone dies at the end" if you so choose.

I'm no Shakespeare expert (obvs).

that predates Shakespeare tho -- the Greeks repped that shit like a motherfucker

Let’s just all agree on my definition. 🤣

When Paulie reluctantly accepts a promotion in the show's waning days, he tells Tony "I live but to serve, my liege." Maybe that puts the whole Shakespearean thing to bed?

Also Johnny Sack misquotes Macbeth at 1:21 here
