“An Episode of War”

• Follow along with audio reading
“An Episode of War”
1. He was on the verge of a great triumph in
mathematics, and the corporals were thronging
forward, each to reap a little square [of coffee],
when suddenly the lieutenant cried out and
looked quickly at a man near him as if he
suspected it was a case of personal assault.
The others cried out also when they saw blood
upon the lieutenant’s sleeve
 Naturalism
•
The event of being shot is a force beyond the
lieutenant’s control
“An Episode of War”
2. One, seeing his arm, began to scold. “Why,
man, that’s no way to do. You want to fix that
thing.” He appropriated the lieutenant and the
lieutenant’s wound. He cut the sleeve and laid
bare the arm, every nerve of which softly
fluttered under his touch. He bound his
handkerchief over the wound, scolding away in
the meantime.
 Realism
•
This is the way one person might realistically
react to the situation
“An Episode of War”
3. When he reached home, his sisters, his
mother, his wife, sobbed for a long time at the
sight of the flat sleeve. “Oh, well,” he said,
standing shamefaced amid these tears. “I don’t
suppose it matters so much as all that.”
 Both
•
•
Naturalism: This passage emphasizes the
lieutenant’s and the women’s reactions to an
event outside their control
Realism: The reaction reflects realistic responses
to the lieutenant’s injury
“An Episode of War”
• Extra Credit: On the back of the worksheet in a
reframed sentence:
 According to the Naturalists, humans are weak
and ineffectual beings at the mercy of
deterministic forces. Defend this statement using
examples from “An Episode of War.”

was waiting for it, fearfully.”
