Red Badge of Courage
Physical and emotional pain is what the tattered solider illustrates in
the book. The tattered solider pain comes from all of the horrible things
associated with war. Him going crazy brings emotional pain and the
physical pain is brought on by the endurances of war. "There was a
tattered man, fouled with dust, blood and powder stain from hair to shoes,
who trudged quietly at the youths side". The tattered solider also
characterizes the toughness people can endear. Even through the harshness
of war people will find something inside of them, overcome it and not let
it bother them. The tattered solider goes out and lives through the tough
endurance's of war but he finds something inside of him to live through it.
The perfect solider is what Jim Conklin brings to the book. Jim never
complains about war and fights as good as the next man. Many of the
people look up to Jim because he is so strong willed. The regiments
almost look up to Jim in a spiritual way finding peace inside of them when
they think of him. It is a tragedy when Jim dies because of all of the
moral inspiration he gave the regiment. True to his character Jim dies a
quiet and peaceful death not distributing any of the regiment.
Wilson represents the two sides of human nature. In the beginning of the
book Wilson is a mean tough guy that no one liked. This outward act of
being tuff is just a cover of the true nature of Wilson. It is natural
for people to cover their true nature in front of new faces. Towards the
end of the book Wilson starts to care about Henry. hen Henry is injured
and he doesn't try and fight the other men anymore. True to human nature
once times start getting more difficult and Wilson becomes more
comfortable with his surroundings he transcends into the calm
compassionate person he really is.
All of the characters in the Red Badge of Courage represent some aspect
of man either physically or emotionally. This connection between the
characters and the reader make the book true to life and more believable.
Since the characters feel so real, physically and emotionally, the reader
has an easier time relating to them.
