About this listen
Henry Fleming, a young soldier in the American Civil War, grapples with fear, courage, and the realities of battle. He joins the Union army with grandiose ideas of heroism, but when he faces the brutal truth of war, he is overcome by fear and runs from the battlefield in his first encounter with the enemy.
After fleeing, Henry is consumed with shame and guilt. He struggles internally, questioning his own courage and trying to come to terms with his actions. Eventually, he finds himself facing danger again, but this time he responds with bravery, even rallying his fellow soldiers during a critical moment in battle.
The Red Badge of Courage is often regarded as one of the most important works of American literature for its realistic portrayal of war and the psychological struggles of soldiers.
