Michael为什么要死？

Speaking of the ending of the series, just recently, executive producer Matt Olmstead was telling Michael Ausiello of The Ausiello Files
that Michael’s death was necessary for more reasons than one and fans
needed to understand that. “[The idea of killing him] started as a
discussion with Wentworth [Miller] around Season 2. He brought up a
good point: His character’s hands are as dirty as anyone’s. If you look
at the initial act that he committed – robbing a bank to get into
prison to break his brother out – there were ramifications to that; a
lot of people got hurt. Not by them, but when they rattled the cage of
the company that was after them, the body count started to pile out.
And Michael was aware of this. And we’ve addressed his guilt throughout
the show. But at a certain point, it felt nobler to have the character
die so that others could live.” Olmstead was saying a short while back.
