Imagery In 'The Red Badge Of Courage'

War is a time of life or death. Those who will prevail and those who don’t will lose respect. The Red Badge Of Courage (1895) is a short novel by Stephen Crane about the meaning of courage. In The Red Badge of Courage, Crane uses imagery to reveal that it’s one of the most influential war stories ever written. In The Red Badge Of Courage, Crane uses imagery to describe the soilders going into war. "The music of the trampling feet, the sharp voices, the clanking arms of the column hear him made him soar on the red wings of the war." Trampling feet means the uniformed marching of the soilders. The sharp voice, the loud voice of the commander. The clanking arms of the column meaning when the soilders hold their weapons against them and move their
arms at the same while marching in a column (a uniformed straight line in the military), while the weapons clank against a person. Crane use imagery to describe a dead man. “A dead man eyes [...] changed to the dull hue to be seen on the side of a dead fish”. To conclude my reasoning about this topic of understanding. To have enough bravery to fight in a war is rewarding. What is bravery in a war. In The Red Badge of Courage, Crane uses imagery to tell us that it’s one of the most influential stories about war ever written. War is a very interesting time to go through for everybody. Would you have enough fearlessness to get a Red Badge of Courage?
