PENELOPE BLANCHARD, Handwriting Analyst

ANALYSIS OF LETTER FROM NAPOLEON by PENELOPE BLANCHARD At the time Penelope Blanchard did her analysis, the writer was anonymous. However, this is the letter of surrender by Napoleon to the British generals after Waterloo so it was written in extreme circumstances. Napoleon was almost fifty years old. I have found this Handwriting analysis to be quite interesting and a stimulating challenge. It has been established that there is no way to identify whether any writer is male or female so, for the sake of simply avoiding confusion, I will be referring to this subject as masculine. This writer has great respect for tradition and honors it with good manners and conformity to the demands of society. It is apparent that he is very well educated, quite possibly, on an individual basis or in private school. The general overall look of the writing is harmonious. The right slant is extreme and it appears to me that his writer may be left handed. He is naturally introverted Even though it is obvious that he has a higher than average intelligence, perhaps even genius, and is quite mature and a logical thinker, he lacks social independence and confidence. He is quite dependent upon others and has a great need for protection, security, love and nurturing. There is a great concern with the self and the past as well, as the future. He just can't let go of his past. He also relies on his past experiences to serve as a guide for the future. Even though future experiences are quite frightening for him, and there are great fears for the self, he is, on the other hand, eager to see what tomorrow brings. So he tries very hard to be cautious about being spontaneous or impulsive in his actions. I say "tries" because he constantly fears that he may lose control and become a volcano of emotional reactions as he is extremely ardent, passionate, jealous and easily offended. He is susceptible to hurt and can hate bitterly and with abandon, and he loves the same way, is restless, unsettled, impulsive and capable of hysteria and wears himself out. :He is strongly influenced by likes and dislikes and can be stirred by others as well as stir other people's emotions. He can plunge into relationships or "A Causes", in short, he can be an emotional wildfire. I believe it is for this reason that he avoids sharing or exposing his feeling to a wide audience and would prefer to stick to a tedious job for long periods without becoming tired or bored. He can feel safe in his solitude, without outside influences that can move him to what he considers undesirable action. This writer has a strong intellect, as mentioned before, and is most interested in academic or mental activities. He is capable of solving abstract problems, but is not interested in striving mightily for new ideals or ideas, being rather narrow minded, he tends to be resistant to new ideas. He is capable of coping well with the daily stresses of work to maintain the status quo. He is able to complete goals on time and with a minimum of distractions. He is a steady and serious person with a good control and intellect. He's reliable is most likely successful in not letting his emotions interfere with his mental capacity, when it comes to his work. There is a need for physical, mental and emotional freedom. This person could be a recluse or a very private person as he is poised perceptive and thoroughly organized, but rather aloof. It is also rather curious that he shows little drive for material or physical comforts and pleasures in life, yet, he uses every bit of his available space and resources, without hesitation. This script shows a very good sense of rhythm and is sensitive and highly impressionable. He takes a broad view of the world and wants to see and know everything. He possesses an innate sense of curiosity that may draw him into unusual situations. There is a love here of all the arts and a desire to follow his own talents. Often, though, this type person may sublimate his own creativity in order to bring it out in others. He also seeks appreciation over material rewards and consequently would make a good teacher or social worker as well. As a matter of fact he sows little drive for material or physical comforts and pleasures in life. This person is a genuine diplomat and can be very evasive and posses an intuitive awareness of how to use the environment to his own advantage (manipulative). He is most capable of seeing the whole broad picture of a situation. He may even point out a different direction of thinking as his method of evading the present crisis. He insists on his social distance as he has a need for self protection. He often will seem aloof and is often evasive in his personal interactions, trusting few people, he keeps his guard up at all times. He is a quick thinker who may have a need to hide his true feelings. Or I can give him the benefit of the doubt and say that this person is an intellectual, original and versatile, but doesn't communicate well with others. On the negative side, this writer can be very undisciplined and unpredictable. He won't give himself a particular course of action and won't be pinned down and often will not even stand up for his own convictions. Again, this person is unsure about the world as well as not being sure of himself. Thus making himself hard to understand. When he makes a decision more than likely he will change his mind. He can often be socially inconsiderate and eccentric in his attitudes even though he knows how to use his social skills. Others often find this type writer most fascinating. This person also has deep seated and unresolved emotional ties with the Mother figure , if a male he is not capable of being involved sexually with another woman or if a female, she is always searching for a Mother replacement. Perhaps may have experienced the loss or abandonment of the Mother, at an early age, which could also explain the insecurity issues that plague this person, thus producing those strong self-protective tendencies. My overall impression is that the subject has lead an unusual life, which provided this person with a great education and training in the social graces. I believe him to be very creative and artistic and very much a recluse, in an effort to protect and insulate himself from imagined dangers of the world. I think he honestly harbored a deep hunger for both social and physical relationships that he would not allow himself , on the grounds that he may lose control emotionally. NOTE: THIS HANDWRITING SAMPLE IS FROM THE SURRENDER NOTE THAT NAPOLEON WROTE TO THE BRITISH (DUKE OF WELLINGTON) AFTER WATERLOO WHEN ALL WAS LOST TO HIM. MS. BLANCHARD DID NOT KNOW THIS AT THE TIME OF HER INTERPRETATION.
