1. The youth of this tale felt gratitude for these words of his comrade.
He had feared that all of the untried men possessed great and correct
confidence. He now was in a measure reassured (1.73).: At this point in
the novel, Henry isn't as concerned with eliminating his cowardice as he
is with justifying it.
2. His emotions made him feel strange in the presence of men who
talked excitedly of a prospective battle as of a drama they were about to
witness, with nothing but eagerness and curiosity apparent in their
faces. It was often that he suspected them to be liars (2.7).: Henry hopes
that his comrades feel the same trepidation as he, as this would justify his
own cowardice. (The old "everyone else is doing it!" defense.)
3. There was a consciousness always of the presence of his comrades
about him. He felt the subtle battle brotherhood more potent even than
the cause for which they were fighting. It was a mysterious fraternity
born of the smoke and danger of death (5.12).: Henry shoots because
other men are shooting. This isn't courage; think of it as simply the team

,sport factor. Just because he participates in battle doesn't mean he's earned
his stripes... yet.
4. Thoughts of his comrades came to him. The brittle blue line had
withstood the blows and won. He grew bitter over it. It seemed that the
blind ignorance and stupidity of those little pieces had betrayed him.
He had been overturned and crushed by their lack of sense in holding
the position, when intelligent deliberation would have convinced them
that it was impossible. He, the enlightened man who looks afar in the
dark, had fled because of his superior perceptions and knowledge. He
felt a great anger against his comrades. He knew it could be proved that
they had been fools (7.3).: Henry rationalizes his desertion, which means
we're seeing more mental cowardice. Remember, Henry's journey isn't
about running from battle and then fighting in battle; it's about the mental
growth he undergoes. He finds courage through his mindset, which then
dictates his actions.
5. At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He
conceived persons with torn bodies to be peculiarly happy. He wished
that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage (9.3).: It's ironic that
Henry's first injury is the result of a fight with another Union soldier,
driven by fear and miscommunication rather than valor.

, .

6. He wondered what those men had eaten that they could be in such
haste to force their way to grim chances of death. As he watched his envy
grew until he thought that he wished to change lives with one of them.
He would have liked to have used a tremendous force, he said, throw
off himself and become a better. Swift pictures of himself, apart, yet in
himself, came to him--a blue desperate figure leading lurid charges with
one knee forward and a broken blade high--a blue, determined figure
standing before a crimson and steel assault, getting calmly killed on a
high place before the eyes of all. He thought of the magnificent pathos
of his dead body (11.9).: Henry's death wish represents the true
desperation in his own abilities and courage.
7. He now thought that he wished he was dead. He believed he envied
those men whose bodies lay strewn over the grass of the fields and on
the fallen leaves of the forest (11.32).: This is perhaps the worse form of
cowardice we see in Red Badge.
8. He now rejoiced in the possession of a small weapon with which
he could prostrate his comrade at the first signs of a cross-examination.
He was master. It would now be he who could laugh and shoot the
shafts of derision. The friend had, in a weak hour, spoken with sobs of
his own death. He had delivered a melancholy oration previous to his
funeral, and had doubtless in the packet of letters, presented various

, keepsakes to relatives. But he had not died, and thus he had delivered
himself into the hands of the youth (15.7-8).: Henry, like a true coward,
does just what he had hoped no one would do to him. He inwardly
rejoices that Wilson is more of a coward than he.
9. And, furthermore, how could they kill him who was the chosen of
gods and doomed to greatness? (15.17): Oh, what a great line - "doomed
to greatness." Henry's search for courage ("greatness") comes with the
price tag of probably death ("doom")
10. The youth had resolved not to budge whatever should happen.

Some arrows of scorn that had buried themselves in his heart had
generated strange and unspeakable hatred. It was clear to him that his
final and absolute revenge was to be achieved by his dead body lying,
torn and gluttering, upon the field. This was to be a poignant retaliation
upon the officer who had said "mule drivers," and later "mud diggers."
[...] And it was his idea, vaguely formulated, that his corpse would be
for those eyes a great and salt reproach (22.18).: Is there a difference
between this death wish and the desire to die that Henry felt early in the
novel, after running away from battle?
11. Previously he had never felt obliged to wrestle too seriously with

this question. In his life he had taken certain things for granted, never
challenging his belief in ultimate success, and bothering little about
