The Duality of War: Courage and Absurdity in "The Red Badge of Courage" and "Catch-22"

This paper explores the contrasting perspectives of war in Stephen Crane's "The Red Badge of Courage" and Joseph Heller's "Catch-22." It examines Henry Fleming's transformation from a farmer boy to a soldier during the Civil War, highlighting his slow, introspective journey toward understanding courage. In contrast, "Catch-22" features Yossarian, whose quest for sanity amidst the absurdities of WWII takes center stage. Through their unique narratives, these novels challenge traditional notions of heroism and the psychological impacts of war, using humor and introspection to critique the soldier's experience.
