What Are The Characteristics Of Henry Fleming
HENRY FLEMING
Henry Fleming, an emotional and immature teenager who becomes an adult, over the course of just a few days. He was a naive and completely self-absorbed teenager who wants nothing more than a chance to show off and be thought of as a brave and daring man. He wanted to wear a uniform and carry a gun, to have girls "oohing" and "ahing" over him. Unfortunately, his manhood came at a steep price. The route he goes through forces him to recognize his own weaknesses and selfishness. It also makes him take a long hard look at his own choices of what bravery and loyalty truly are. Throughout the course of several battles, Henry discovers that he can rise above his own fears; he can be brave even at the possibility of his own death.
