The theme that is not present in The Red Badge of Courage is:
C. Being a man means accepting one's mistakes and living with confident strength.
While the novel explores themes of courage, fear, and the trials of war, it does not explicitly focus on the notion of masculinity linked to accepting mistakes in the way that option C suggests. The other options align more closely with the themes presented in the novel.
