Question

What does this quote by Napoleon—“I no longer considered myself a mere general, but a man called upon to decide the fate of peoples” (Paragraph 6)—reveal about his character? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer 1

He had an extraordinary sense of grandeur and believed himself to be much more than a mere mortal, thinking of himself as something of a god on earth. This is seen in the sentence where he claims himself to not just be a general, but rather someone that decides the fates, as if he has such grand power to decide the fate of not just a single person, but rather of "peoples"
