In William Makepeace Thackeray's short story, 'The Second Funeral of Napoleon', centers around the French expedition to St. Helena to retrieve Napoleon's body and bring it back to France for a proper burial. Through his satirical and witty prose, Thackeray sheds light on the ways in which society often glorifies and romanticizes even the most flawed individuals and events.
