In Stephen Crane's "The Red Badge of Courage," young Henry Fleming, a soldier in the Civil War, grapples with his fears and perceptions of courage in battle. As he faces the reality of war, he is overwhelmed by doubt and anxiety about his bravery and the expectations of heroism. After fleeing from his first battle, he is haunted by guilt and shame, prompting a profound internal struggle. Throughout his journey, he encounters various soldiers, each representing different responses to fear and valor. Ultimately, Henry must confront his inner conflicts to discover the true meaning of courage and self-identity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
