At the sight of his Master, Vader loses all control, choking his wife, and goes into a tirade against Kenobi. When Padme begins to list out the dark deeds he's accused of, Vader's anger slowly begins to simmer and grows nearly to the breaking point at the mention of Obi-Wan and the Jedi. When the confrontation first begins, Vader's darkness is tucked away as Anakin is displayed. Is a suitable descriptor for Vader in this sequence. While that lesson for Luke was meant to drive home the idea that staying in the light is the work of a lifetime, the word , Yoda describes the dark side as the "quick and easy path". This is fully displayed during his confrontation with Padme - the goal had gone from just saving her, to now ruling the galaxy together. He weeps tears of regret following the CIS slaughter, knowing that what he's done is wrong, but he craves more power. When Vader's eyes finally turn yellow, he's fully consumed by the dark side. It's a constant push for more, an insatiable desire for power. But there is no 'end' with the dark side. Even after Order 66, Vader was justifying his actions as being a means to an end. Up until his massacre of the Separatist leadership, Anakin's primary objective in the film had been to prevent his wife's death. Imagine any of his lines in the voice of James Earl Jones, and there's a perfect match. But the Vader we see now is equally merciless and far more dangerous, as he's been completely consumed by his lust for power. Darth Vader's iconography is so engrained in pop culture that it's hard to see him as anything but the man in the suit. The same happens on Padme's veranda following the great purge the Anakin being presented is a lie. When Padme first arrives, Vader puts the facade of Anakin on, while trying to sell her on his new plan to rule the galaxy.
The most interesting aspect of this scene is that we all refer to him as Anakin, but this is really Darth Vader.
I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!
