Description
The close association between Crane's journalistic and fictional
account of the Greco-Turkish war makes "Death and the Child" one
of the most forthright works in the Crane canon. From both a
philosophical and technical standpoint, this short fiction work
reveals Crane's maturity and sophistication at the end of 1897.
A tension-release-shift structure directs the major flow of action,
while at the same time suggesting the process of psychological
change which the protagonist undergoes. The interpretation of the
final scenes of the work, a subject of some controversy, is aided
by an examination of the corresponding and contrasting elements found in The Red Badge of Courage.
