 During the most intense battle scenes in "The Red Badge of Courage", for example, the story's focus is mainly "on the inner responses of a self unaware of others".In "The Open Boat", "An Experiment in Misery" and other stories, Crane uses light, motion and color to express degrees of epistemological uncertainty.Similar to other Naturalistic writers, Crane scrutinizes the position of man, who has been isolated not only from society, but also from God and nature.
