In this chapter Henry walks away from everyone and thinks to himself. He felt angry because he wasn't there to help defeat the enemy but I took it as he blamed his regiment? Since he felt jealous over his regiment I believe he is back to being a coward. He had gained so much but lost it in only one chapter. In the beginning he thought he was smart for not fighting but then after the win becomes very jealous. After walking through the timber he thought that Nature was crazy for still living in those conditions. After walking somemore he stubbled across a dead soldier, this dead person scared him so much that he wouldn't walk with his back because he thought it may spring up and do something horrible. He exchanged a look with the corpse for a very long time. I believe that this so far is one of the most interesting chapters.
Why would he be angry at his fellow army men if they won the battle? Was he jealous?
He conceived Nature to be a woman with a deep aversion to tragedy. (Red Badge of tragedy, chapter7) Why would he think this?
