  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Gas Examples Of:[]

  • Body Double: Who refuse to admit he's fake. And later die on the same day as history know Napoleon to have died.
  • Foregone Conclusion: We know that history know Napoleon to have died in exile without ever escaping. Thge beginning of the film even underscore this. So we know from square one that the protagonist will never manage to start his new revolution, or even be accepted as the real Napoleon.
  • Rags to Riches: While Napoleon is trying to rebuild his conspiracy, he also have a civilian life to live. Starting over at square one.
  • No Mere Windmill: The protagonist is the real Napoleon, but gets mistaken for one of the many lunatics believing themselves to be Napoleon.
  • Prince and Pauper: The emperor and his Body Double, switching time for an extended time.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Poor emperor
  • Windmill Political: The entire premise of the plot is that Napoleon and his followers have a incorrect-bordering-on-delusional belief that the people love their former emperor and would gladly rise up to put him back on the throne.
