Abstract This paper examines how in "The Red Badge of Courage", Stephen Crane uses many symbols. In particular, it looks at how Jim Conklin, wounds, fog, and nature are symbols used to provide a deeper understanding of the novel.
From the Paper "One of the more important symbols in the novel were the wounds. Henry called the wounds from battle a red badges of courage. The Red Badges symbolized honor, courage and valor. A gun shot wound would not be a result of a soldiers mistake, but it would be a symbol of showing extreme courage. In the novel Henry, "felt that he was regarding a procession of chosen beings." (106) It was clear that Henry believed that the men are better than him because they had wounds and he did not. It was only when he received his red badge that he was clearly happy. At the end of the chapter, it was written that Henry, "gave a long sigh, snuggled down into his blanket, and in a moment was like his comrades." (132) This further proved how important it was to have an object such as the wound to show courage."
Abstract This paper reviews Stephen Crane's work, "The Red Badge of Courage". It shows the moral dilemmas faced by the protagonist, Henry Fleming, during the Civil War. The paper also shows how Crane explores the theme of morality through Fleming's ideas on war and courage. The paper concludes that the title of the paper is ironic, finding that the protagonist was more of a coward than a hero.
From the Paper "Another example of this illogical thinking occurs right before a battle when he thinks that perhaps his gun is not loaded (25). This notion implies irresponsibility and can be interpreted in two ways. In one way, the reader is reminded of the same young man who probably had forgotten to milk the cow every now and then. Only this time, his absence of memory would be fatal. Another perception of his irresponsibility is that he was so ill prepared to fight that he makes any excuse to get out of fighting, like a coward."
