Question

What does the fact that Henry imagines battles as involving “heavy crowns and high castles” reveal?

Answer 1

The excerpt has been taken from the lesson - The Red Badge of Courage.

In the story, Henry believes that war is something associated with the kings and queens who wear heavy crowns and those who live in high castles. Henry imagines in his innocent thoughts that the war has gone forever because the heavy crowns and castles have also gone and the world has now changed into a society where the modern mankind lives.
