From early on Napoleon was revered for his immense military prowess, admired for ending the destructive French Revolution. Although Napoleon was a triumphant commander early in his career, his following failures greatly detracted from his initial success. Other than military victories, success can be defined as achieving one’s goals; Napoleon’s main focus was power. Napoleon was extremely hungry for power, ambitiously elevating his position from a soldier to the Emperor of France, a position he created for himself. Napoleon successfully overthrew the dictatorial Directory in 1799, preventing France from falling prey to corrupt leadership.
After the downfall of King Louis XVI and the terrible reign of Robespierre, a French military general by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte stepped up to lead France. During his reign as both a military leader and emperor of France, Napoleon was the recipient of both praise and criticism. To some, Napoleon was a tyrant that did not rule well, but to many others, Napoleon was a fair leader and was even considered a hero. Although Napoleon Bonaparte made a few mistakes during his regime as a leader, I feel like his changes to France have been more helpful than harmful. Before Napoleon became emperor, he was a young military general who helped achieve victories in many battles, such as leading the French army to wins against both Austria and Great Britain.

It’s the most effective at this since it uses symbols masterfully. It has paranormal elements that make it frightening while still sounding like a legitimate possible, realistic situation. While on the other hand “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat” fall short where “The Monkey’s Paw” excels, here’s how.
Sherlock Holmes is known for his brilliance, his ability to blend in and his forensic science skills that helps him solve cases. I believe my love for Holmes is because he’s been consistent since his discovery. Holmes is a round character. You’re known to be fully developed if you are a round character and that is what Holmes is. He mimic’s real people and can be very unpredictable at what he does.
These two occurrences demonstrate that Napoleon has turned into a despot. Until present time, had been small changes in the principles of constitution or at least hidden with wise lectures, however those days are over. Evidently Napoleon is now believed that he has enough power to neglect the original principles of a communist society. A class-structure is currently again strictly set up: “The essential history of the introduction of class, as a word which would supersede older names for social divisions, relates to the increasing consciousness that social position is made rather than merely inherited” (Williams.1984 . 61). Napoleon supposes he belongs to another class, considering himself above not just the "common animals" who had been
