Sympathy for the Devil Despite his morally reprehensible lifestyle and personal shortcomings, I like Tony Soprano. Through the entire run of the television show The Sopranos, even when his transgressions became too great for redemption to be an option any longer, I never wished the character ill will, never wanted him to get his comeuppance.

1.) Quote: “Freudian psychoanalysis turns out to be an archaeological expedition back into the past in which a search is made for others on whom to pin the blame for the patient’s behavior” (p. 6).
