Crane’s writing style in “A Mystery of Heroism” is lyrical and poetic. The following passage, in which the narrator sets the scene near the beginning of the story, demonstrates how Crane uses rich figurative language to capture the brutality of war:

And there was a massacre of the young blades of grass. They were being torn, burned, obliterated. Some curious fortune of the battle had made this gentle little meadow the object of the red hate of the shells, and each one as it exploded seemed like an imprecation in the face of a maiden.
