when the enemy charges (in chapter 17), how does Henry fight? Afterward, how does he feel? How does he feel after eavesdropping on the two officers?

According to the Lieutenant he fought like a wild cat;

"By heavens, if I had ten thousand wild cats like you I could tear th' stomach outa this war in less'n a week!"

Afterwards he is described as feeling like a beast or a barbarian....... he even brings up feeling like a pagan fighting to defend his religion.
