Robert [discussing The Red Badge of Courage]: That is, what set of emotions or reactions moved him, in light of the recent discussion of honor here.
First thing would be to separate the emotions of Crane's entirely fictional character from those of the quasi-historical Falstaff, aka Oldcastle, who pretends to be dead in Henry IV part one, then spuriously claims to have killed Hotspur. 

Crane's hero is not a Falstaff, i.e., not someone altogether lacking honor.


Best,
Eric
