        <description><![CDATA[Glory and honor was what all the young Civil War soldiers sought, both in reality and in Stephen Crane's novel The Red Badge of Courage. In the opening chapter, Henry Fleming, like the others in his regiment, are upset with the boredom and drudgery of drilling. None of the regiment has seen action yet, and they want to fight after several months in camp. The main topic of conversation is about the possibility of a pullout and a march, but so...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Awaiting his first action in Stephen Crane's Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage, the youth flashes back to a parade during his childhood. Like the officers and soldiers that now surround him, he remembers how he was ready and willing to follow along behind the "lady upon the white horse, or the band in its faded chariot." As a little boy, the parade made a grand impression upon him, and now it reminds him of the circumstances at...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The very title of the novel, The Red Badge of Courage is an allusion. This is a reference to a battle wound, and it is significant in that Henry feels guilty that he chooses to flee the battle and he has no wound. He has left simply from fear. This is further emphasized through his interaction with Jim, as Jim is wounded and he isn’t. Ironically Henry does receive his “Red Badge of Courage” when he is accosted by another runaway...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Chapter 11 Henry realizes that he is not the only soldier to have fled. He finds comfort in this and his pride returns knowing that the other soldiers felt the same. Mostly his emotions are controlled by what is currently going on around him. As he sees the soldiers leave, defeated, he feels better. When he sees other soldiers marching in to continue the battle he is ashamed again.

        <description><![CDATA[The first impression the author gives us of Henry Fleming is that of a youth who is totally untried.  As the soldiers around him give their various opinions about when they will see battle, Henry is silent, listening with "eager ears...to the varied comments of his comrades".  He leaves the company of the others to lie for awhile on his bunk, so that he can ruminate in private "some new thoughts that had lately come to him".  He is in "a...]]></description>
