Henry is a dynamic main character capable of moments of laudable bravery as well as detestable egotism. The hazy morality of combat is a central theme, with Crane almost mocking the soldiers who continuously pat themselves on the back and assure themselves that they are becoming \u0022men\u0022 by confronting the terror of the front lines. In reality, Crane is skewering these foolhardy notions of honor and courage, highlighting just how fickle and contradictory such characteristics can be. While \u0022The Red Badge of Courage\u0022 does provide an illuminating depiction of the experience of a massive 19th-century battle, the true focus is on the internal conflicts people must face when swept up into the desperate and deadly maelstrom of war. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War, military history, or the development of American literature." } ] }</script> <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.googleapis.com" />

innocence and self-assurance in the face of mortal danger, and the futile quest for honor and glory on a battlefield of senseless destruction. Stephen Crane's vivid and sometimes gory stream-of-consciousness battle scenes (men losing limbs, being cut down by whizzing bullets and canon fire) and piercing psychological analysis reveal the moral questions and deeply troubling human cost of modern warfare, exposing the disconnect between the soldiers risking their lives and the decision-makers sending them to fight.

It's told from the perspective of a young enlisted intellectual who's terrified that he may not be brave enough to stand and fight when the time comes. As the multi-day skirmish unfolds, "the youth" is confronted with mortal danger at every turn, throwing his fragile psyche into turmoil as he tries to prove his manly credentials and preserve his honor in the eyes of his peers. Fighting to survive, blinded by the fog of war, and boxed in by expectations of chivalry and masculinity, the young men of the regiment are tried and tested again and again, losing many to gunfire, until "the sultry nightmare was in the past."</p> </div> <button class="reveal__trigger link link--cta btn--reset" data-target="reveal-728c7686-b1f9-49e2-8dc7-ad330be1ef9a">Show more</button> </div> </div> <div class="review-view-any-good review-view-box"> <h2 id="summary-review">Is It Any Good?</h2> <div class="ratings"> <div class="rating"> <span class="label"><strong>Our review:</strong></span> <span id="rating-e6c93214-3585-4cf1-bec0-c5bce2536281" class="rating rating--inline"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> </span> </span> </div> <div class="rating rating--parents"> <span class="label"><strong>Parents say </strong><span class="count">(<a class="link" href="/book-reviews/the-red-badge-of-courage/user-reviews/adult">1</a> ):</span></span> <span id="rating-7b7663af-3fb5-488a-84b7-ab4990e04781" class="rating rating--inline rating--user"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> </span> </span> </div> <div class="rating rating--kids"> <span class="label"><strong>Kids say </strong><span class="count">(<a class="link" href="/book-reviews/the-red-badge-of-courage/user-reviews/child">5</a> ):</span></span> <span id="rating-4b99f935-c3b8-44ae-bdb0-46a05afe3f06" class="rating rating--inline rating--user"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> </span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="review-view-is-any-good-content formatted-text"> <div id="reveal-7257bd57-51c4-4193-a496-59b1189c544d" class="reveal" data-more="Show more" data-less="Show less"> <div class="reveal__content collapse"> <p>Crane's evocative, stream-of-conscious descriptions of the emotional turbulence and all-around mayhem of battle is incredibly compelling. Henry is a dynamic main character capable of moments of laudable bravery as well as detestable egotism. The hazy morality of combat is a central theme, with Crane almost mocking the soldiers who continuously pat themselves on the back and assure themselves that they are becoming "men" by confronting the terror of the front lines. In reality, Crane is skewering these foolhardy notions of honor and courage, highlighting just how fickle and contradictory such characteristics can be. While <em>The Red Badge of Courage </em>does<em> </em>provide an illuminating depiction of the experience of a massive 19th-century battle, the true focus is on the internal conflicts people must face when swept up into the desperate and deadly maelstrom of war. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War, military history, or the development of American literature. </p> </div> <button class="reveal__trigger link link--cta btn--reset" data-target="reveal-7257bd57-51c4-4193-a496-59b1189c544d">Show more</button> </div> </div> </div> <div class="squiggle--bottom review-view-box review-view-box--formatted"> <h2 id="family-talk">Talk to Your Kids About ...</h2> <div id="reveal-c3340189-f9fa-428f-b9b2-b93598c6e153" class="reveal" data-more="Show more" data-less="Show less"> <div class="reveal__content collapse"> <ul> <li><p>Families can talk about how the Civil War is portrayed in <em>The Red Badge of Courage</em>.
