Red Badge Of Courage Many

Page(s): 4 (1266 words) Document #:77012768

Crane was the first to write about what war was really like. The characters are not heroes and brave soldiers, but just men with guns who are fighting because they are afraid to die. Henry's mind is in the "tumult of agony and despair" like any person who sees death around him. That is why the Red Badge of Courage is not a "happy ever after" book like a fairy tale, but a sad story about the terrible things about war.
