Asked by Mariah
                Using only Stephen Crane's novel, the Red Badge of Courage, explain how he felt about war.
Didn't he like it because it was glorious and it made boys turn into men?

    I have read the book, and I wasn't sure. In the end Henry is a man, so wouldn't the author think war is good? How does the author say it's bad?

    This reminds me of folks who sin and sin because they think they read that God loves sinners. Not really critical reading. 
Stephen Crane was hardly a advocate of brutal and violent maturation. If he were here commenting on Iraq in these days, he would be labeled a phoney soldier, a gutless coward, or a traitor. Such are these times.
Crane did not present the Red Badge as something to seek and of which to be proud.
