Michael Kohlhaas: What is the moral of the strory?

So after finishing Michael Kohlhaas, I was left to ponder what exactly the moral of this story is. At first I thought that maybe the story was geared more towards pointing out the injustices in government, as we are told of a man, Kohlhaas, who is trying to make an honest living selling horses but is inhibited by a man of power, Junker Wenzel von Tronka, who then further uses his power to undermine the rights of Kohlhaas. With this idea of injustice in mind, we are able, to an extent, sympathize with Kohlhaas and understand what prompted his actions of revenge; however this complicates things as it turns the once innocent protagonist into, for me the antagonist. Kohlhaas’ actions can no longer be deemed as justifiable, as he is now the one creating injustice amongst the people and towns that he burns. Aside from all this, the story takes an even more interesting turn of events when Kohlhaas comes into possession of a prophecy of the Elector of Saxony. At this point I lose the idea that the ultimate moral of the story are the injustices in government, and I become rather confused with this development in the story as it doesn’t really relate to the rest of the earlier events. Regardless, in the end Kohlhaas is compensated for his earlier troubles although he himself must pay the price of death for the injustices he has caused, and so I guess I am left with the notion that perhaps one of the ultimate lessons in this story is to be aware that power blinds man of what is right. The Junker abuses his power when he undermines Kohlhaas and Kohlhaas abuses his power with his actions of revenge, because these men were in positions of power they exercised this without much regard to the morality of their actions, and so this is why I think that the story of Michael Kohlhaas is a story that elucidates how power corrupts man.
