The Red Badge of Courage

Stron: 100

The Red Badge of Courage is a short novel by Stephen Crane about the meaning of courage. „The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting. As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors.”

Eighteen-year-old Henry Fleming joins the Union Army despite his mother's discouragement, becoming a private in the (fictional) 304th New York Regiment. In the weeks leading up to conflict, Henry wonders whether he will remain brave, or turn and run. During his first battle, Confederate soldiers charge his regiment, but are repelled. The enemy quickly regroups and attacks again, this time forcing some Union soldiers to flee. Fearing the battle is a lost cause, Henry deserts his battalion. Only after he reaches the rear of the army does he overhear a general announcing the union's victory. Ashamed, he spends the rest of the day away from his regiment.
