|
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane traces the effects of war on
|
|
a Union soldier, Henry Fleming, from his dreams of soldiering, to his
|
|
actual enlistment, and through several battles of the Civil War.
|
|
|
|
Henry Fleming was not happy with his boring life on the farm. He
|
|
wanted to become a hero in war and have girls loving him for his glorious
|
|
achievements in battle. He knew his mother would not like to see him go to
|
|
war, but it was his decision to make. He dreamed of the exiting battles of
|
|
war and the thrill of fighting glorious battles. He didn't want to stay on
|
|
the farm with nothing to do, so he made the final decision to enlist.
|
|
|
|
After enlisting he finds himself just sitting around with nothing to
|
|
do. He manages to make friends with two other soldiers, John wilson and Jim
|
|
Conklin. Wilson was as exited about going to war as Henry, while Jim was
|
|
confident about the success of the new regiment. Henry started to realize
|
|
after a few days of marching, that their regiment was just wandering
|
|
aimlessly, going in circles, like a vast blue demonstration. They kept
|
|
marching on without purpose, direction, or fighting. Through time Henry
|
|
started to think about the battles in a different way, a more close and
|
|
experienced way, he started to become afraid that he might run from battle
|
|
when duty calls. He felt like a servent doing whatever his superiors told
|
|
him.
|
|
|
|
When the regement finally discovers a battle taking place, Jim gives
|
|
Henry a little packet in a yellow envelope, telling Henry that this will be
|
|
his first and last battle. The regiment managed to hold off the rebels for
|
|
the first charge, but then the rebels came back like machines of steel with
|
|
re-enforcements, driving the regement back. One man started to flee, then
|
|
another, and another still. Henry was scared, confused, and in a trance as
|
|
he saw his forces depleating. He finally got up and started running like a
|
|
proverbial chicken, who has lost the direction of safety.
|
|
|
|
After running away, Henry started rationalizing his behavior after
|
|
running from the enemy. At first he fells he was a stupid coward for
|
|
running, then he feels he was just saving himself for later. he felt nature
|
|
didn't want him to die, eventhough his side is losing. He believes he was
|
|
intelligent for running and hopes he will die in battle just for spite.
|
|
|
|
The same time Henry met Jim, he also met a tattered man. In the next
|
|
charge, Henry and the tattered man see Jim die a slow, and painful death.
|
|
After Jim's death, and a little talking, Henry,though not realizing it,
|
|
leaves the tattered man alone on the battle field, hurting inside, and
|
|
dangerous to himself.
|
|
|
|
In the charge ahead, Henry starts asking the soldiers why they are
|
|
running. He grabbed a comrad by the arm and asked the man "why- why-" not
|
|
letting go of the mans arm, so the man hit Henry over the head with the
|
|
butt of his rifle, giving Henry his first Red Badge of Courage. Dazed,
|
|
Henry stumbles around the battle field struggling to stay on his feet,
|
|
until a cheery man comes around and helps Henry to get back to his
|
|
regement.
|
|
|
|
At his regiment he confronts wilson and has his wound on his head
|
|
attended to. After a short rest he again gets back into battle. After the
|
|
regiment lost that battle, the generals had the regiment marching again.
|
|
Henry felt the generals were a lot of "lunkheads" for making them retreat
|
|
instead of confronting the enemy.
|
|
|
|
Henry begins to feel that, he and Wilson, are going to die, but goes
|
|
to battle anyway. In battle, Henry began to fume with rage and exhaustion.
|
|
He had a wild hate for the relentless foe. He was not going to be badgered
|
|
of his life, like a kitten chased by boys. He felt that he and his
|
|
companions were being taunted and derided from sincere convictions that
|
|
they were poor and puny.
|
|
|
|
In yet another battle, when Henry and Wilson get a chance to carry
|
|
their flag, they fight over who will retain the flag. Wilson got the
|
|
regement flag, though later in battle Henry manages to obtain the rebel
|
|
flag. And from there, runs to the front of the line with the Liutenant,
|
|
leading the way.
|
|
|
|
In battle he fought like a "Major General", though he did regret
|
|
leaving the tattered man alone on the battle field, he has grown-up, and is
|
|
not afraid of dying anymore.
