The Battlefield of the Soul
What does courage look like when death looms before you? In "The Red Badge of Courage," Stephen Crane plunges us into the mind of Henry Fleming, a young farm boy who enlists in the Union Army with romantic visions of battlefield glory. Instead, he discovers the chaotic reality of war-where heroism isn't guaranteed and fear is contagious. As Henry's regiment prepares for their first battle, his thoughts spiral with doubt: Will he stand and fight when the moment comes, or will his legs carry him away in shameful retreat? This question haunts him, creating a war within before the external battle even begins. When combat finally erupts, Henry initially fights well, feeling himself become "not a man but a member" of something larger. The regiment repels the first Confederate charge, giving him a fleeting sense of accomplishment. But when a second attack comes and soldiers begin to flee, Henry's courage collapses. He runs, justifying his flight as self-preservation-"the work of a master's legs." His shame deepens when he discovers his regiment held their position without him. Isn't this the most human of responses? To rationalize our failures while secretly knowing the truth?
