Human empire

In this essay I want tell episodes of napoleon and his family that shows the human side of napoleon and his brothers an sisters: the first is one of last sister of Napoleon, Mary Paula, called Paolina(1780-1825), that to hers husband Charles Leclerc(1772-1802), she said, when he reproached hers lovers and behaviors very free, she answered: “Satisfy yourself because you have married the sister of Bonaparte”; it is the egocentrism typical of persons that has got up from the lower level, this is an answer of somebody that before was nothing and suddenly is somebody. The attributed lovers of Paolina could be true or not but my interest is one, this is the weakness  of Paolina that was very weak and she wanted the affect of everybody for a compensation of affect. After the defeat of Abukir the 1th  August 1798, the French armies was defeated from Oratio Nelson(1758-1805), Paolina that  then  was in Paris, she evidently previewed the end of hers brother, she bought  a villa in rue de la Ville l’Eveque and other in campaign; it is the evident sign of a weak of woman that wanted remove the evil thinks. Other evident sign is the parties in Paris that she wanted for to equal hers sister in law, Josepha, that was the true protagonist of society Paris life; it is also the clear manifestation of inferiority of Paolina in confront of hers sister law; she in Paris hasn’t been it;  and she tried emulate Josepha, but it is the will of who has  strong complex of inferiority, and the furthermore proof is that she attended a French course of language, evidently she, differently, from hers brother, Napoleon, that attended the military school in Paris, didn’t le French language, and evidently also his husband recognized the limits of Paolina because he advised to her of attend a course of good behavior; if she was sure of hers politeness  she had refused it, instead she accepted, and the words of hers teach , Madam Campan, are explicative, as exaggerated: “Hers progresses  are amazing because she didn’t neither read nor write”, she wanted hint to true lack  of politeness of Paolina. But together to Paolina also hers brother, Napoleon, was very similar, because he asked to Panoria Comnène, this is the lady Permon, of marry but she stressed the different age; Panoria was contemporary of mother of Napoleon, but evidently he wanted get up on the social level. But also other brothers of Napoleon, because they bought in Paris  the palaces: Joseph to Mortefontaine, Lucien  to Plessis-Charmant, then very exclusive areas ; therefore the complex of inferiority was very deep rooted. The reaction of Napoleon toward his brother law, Leclerc, is very disgusting, because he has excluded Leclerc from every benefit  after that napoleon has took the absolutely power; it is the true fear of Napoleon. But the envy is typical  of human gender  and to women it is more than the men; hence during  a party alone a woman, Madame de Contades, was the unique that has noted a physical defect of Paolina, regard hers ears; she has noted this defect because she was suddenly ignored when Paolina entered in the room; it is the revenge of a woman. I wanted show the human defects of napoleon and others, that although got up socially they were always human gender.
