falsely accused, and conducted himself as a gentleman. Tom's actions depict
the kind of man he truly was, not one to rape and beat a helpless teenager,
but one to conduct hims .....

to show Napoleon's propaganda as a scapegoat for his own problems.
Again, Merriam-Webster states propaganda as “the spreading of
ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an
