| The Red Badge of Courage | comment |
The Red Badge of Courage is an 1895 novel by Stephen Crane about the American Civil War, and is probably the modern Trope Codifier for War Is Hell.Henry Fleming, a young soldier of 304th regiment, joined the Union army with wide-eyed ideas about the glory of battle and service to his country. On the eve of his first battle—per Word of God, the battle of Chancellorsville, though it's never specified in the narrative—he worries he will not have the fortitude to face combat. He does, in fact, flee from his regiment after going into combat, and after some disturbing encounters finally makes his way back. The battle isn't over, and Henry gets another chance to prove his courage.Made into a film in 1951 starring real-life war hero Audie Murphy, written and directed by John Huston, and also featuring cartoonist Bill Mauldin in invokeda rare acting role. Famous as a Troubled Production in which MGM took the film from Huston and whacked out a good 50 minutes or so, leaving it with only a 69-minute run time. Given that in the film Henry is seen writing a letter dated September 10, 1862, the battle in the movie would appear to be Antietam. The novel was also adapted as a first-season episode of the PBS children's series Wishbone, "A Terrified Terrier", in 1995. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Henry has a romantic notion of this at the beginning of the novel. In The Veteran, Old Henry tries to save the two old colts at the end of a burning barn. The roof collapses before he would've gotten out. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| The Red Badge of Courage / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: The novel avoids discussing which side is right. Just that both sides are fighting. Stephen Crane goes even a step further and just call the Unions "blue" and Confederates "gray", except in dialogues such as when the cheerful soldier led Henry back to 304th regiment and called the Confederates "Johnnies", a derogatory slang at that time towards the Confederates. | |
