What was Napoleon Bonaparte's strengths and weaknesses?

Answer 1

You wouldn't think Napoleon Bonaparte, a man whose name could strike fear into almost all of his enemies would have weaknesses but he does. Some ranging from love which are expressed in his letter to his one and only true love Josephine to being emotionally distressed to the point of almost committing suicide. In his letters to Josephine, Napoleon sounds like a love sick teenager. In one of his letters he states " Sweet and matchless Josephine, how strangely you work upon my heart" not only does he pour out his heart to her, he trusts her enough that he gives in some letters his location and plans of war. This is not smart on his part considering some of his letters have been intercepted by the British and published in British tabloids. In allot of his letters he also states that if Josephine didn't love him he would kill himself. His biggest strength would have to be his military skills. At a young age Napoleon was sent to France on a full scholarship to a military school. He climbed ranks almost every year.
