Is that as terrifying though as Roderick mis-dosing Madeline with a poison and her actually being alive but paralyzed while he plucked out her eyes and possibly even her tongue (cause she seemed to be bleeding from the mouth and that ghastly wail makes me think she can’t speak) and the entire time he was telling the story, that thumping in the basement was Madeline fumbling around blind and in pain and trying to find her dirty rat brother who tried to kill her and failed so miserably until eventually…in that sightless darkness she finds the stairs and finally climbs up to find Roderick and wrap her hands around his throat…the man who took everything away from her when she was on the cusp of HAVING everything, her lifelong ambition???

That was my thoughts as well when seeing the ending, and pretty much a perfect way to cap off the generational trauma themes in the series. Roderick even does the same thing his father has done by irresponsibly having some illegitimate kids. Part of me wonders if Roderick's acceptance of his illegitimate kids was his attempts to be better than his dad (as he and Madeline were disinherited), but because he never learned to better process his traumas and see what was truly important alongside Madeline, Roderick ended up going down a similar path as his dad (including mistreating his children/other people).

I think that Roderick was in a coma because he collapsed outside of the church, while he was in a coma before he passed away without regaining consciousness he was watching all of his children one by one fade into darkness of his unconscious mind but when he finally succumbed and gave up the ghost he had one last imagine of himself and Auggie sitting in the darkness with him confessing the day before he collapsed outside of the church, and when it was time for him to finally die the image of a Zombie Madeline came and smashed through the door and snuffed out the last of his life and the house of his unconscious mind came tumbling down over them. When this happened, and Roderick was buried Augie left the recorder at the head of his tombstone, and his families gravestones were there as symbols of his mistakes and sorrows. But that's my theory and people may not agree with me on this.

Well her 'final win' wasn't a win - She had stones jammed in her gouged eye-d face for hours and hours. Plus she was obsessed with immortality and died just before she could acheive it AND she never betrayed anyone who trusted her the way Roderick and his children did those to who trusted him/them (other when she tried to kill Roderick himself, but that was arguably more justified). Madeline was a more sociopathic and cold person in her manner, but she didn't sacrifice her family - she even avoided having a family of her own. Also she never got to be the head of the empire, it was her brother. Despite being the reason for their success she was only ever COO never CEO, so didn't truly get her wish (to never be controlled by a man) as he did.
