I think Henry, like all the young men, are afraid of dying. Beneath their courageous talk and bravado, all of them fear battle. Initially, like many soldiers, Henry runs away. Henry however matures and finds his courage in the face of death. He develops a much more realistic sense of war, life, and death.
