Will he could have see it like how the Romans,Japanese and nazis and many cultures saw it . It's better to die by your sword then the enemies
They had different ways of seeing it. Apparently it was seen as good for a Roman man to stab his daughter to death so he didn't marry a man (not being raped or turned into a concubine, but a man's actual wife), while the Japanese kinda-sorta made up their long tradition of suicidal devotion and had to hide from the public that their sons were being used as projectiles, while for the Nazis you have Hitler and another's publically condemning a German mayor and his wife for killing themselves when the Western Allies approached. Though Napoleon did really go for Roman things, so their romantic image of accepting suicide might be kept with him longer. He apparently tried some... "Other" Classical pursuits. He did not enjoy it.
