My Dear Josephine

In Napoleon's letter to his wife I feel as if he is indeed obsessed. He lets the idea that she is being unfaithful overcome him and take over his sense of reasoning. She calls him "Voux" in her letter and he immediately thinks the worst. Even though he has no solid proof he feels that because she left a gap between letters and her recent letter was so short she has a lover. He should know his wife and if he never had a reason to feel that she couldnt be trusted he shouldnt feel that way at all. Before thinking the worst he should have asked why she said what she said. He is obsessed because he is letting one word eat away at his soul, and it is therefore stopping him from fulfilling his duties to the best of his abilities. He is threatening his own life over one simple little word. Its okay to wonder or think a little negative but, he shouldnt threaten his life or anyones for that matter. No matter how much he may now try to avoid thinking she is being unfaithful he already let his mind take over and I feel as if nothing she could have said back to him would change how he felt from there on out.
