The Red Badge of Courage/YMMV

• Designated Hero: Henry.
• Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Oddly, the character of Jim Conklin, widely viewed by critics as an a Christ figure (Both Jesus and Jim have the initials JC) isn't one, at least according to Word of God.
  • Then there's the infamous metaphor of the sun being "pasted like a wafer in the sky", quite possibly the most famous line in the book. The amount of people who believe this must refer to a communion wafer is enormous.
