This work examines Naturalism in Stephen Crane's war novel The Red Badge of Courage. There is such a general belief that heredity and environment work together to determine man's life in helping humans to find the goodness and feel the joy of being. However, it is true that man is likely coming across a number of problems in course of his life. Thus, informed by the hypothesis that nature through its aspects-heredity and environment is a determining force that leads to war occurrences in this world, this work aims to prove that nature is very often the source of many problems encountered by human beings in course of their lives.
By examining the character of Henry Fleming, the protagonist in Crane's war novel as he struggles in his natural world, we show how natureshows no concern towards human actions.
With his extremely ideal conviction that nature will provide him with any help at the outbreak of war, the young boy Henry Fleming enlists in the army with his highly wishful desire of getting untold glory, heroism and honor that he sees in participating in a war.
Nevertheless, nature seems totally hostile for him. Therefore, this work further examines how Crane as a naturalist attempts to give a scientif interpretation to life events of the universe. It reminds readers that war occurences and all its evils in this world should be understood within one's society in the sense that man is unable to help himself.
