Glory Character Analysis
face? How does he deal with these
conflicts?
Robert Gould Shaw’s biggest
conflict was preparing for war and
looking after his men. He faced his
conflict by treating his men equally
and working hard for the war.
Trips biggest conflict was having no
home to go to after the war and
having no family. He faced his
conflict by first dealing with the
war and then he was going to think
about where he would go.
John Rawlins conflict was trying to
help and train the ignorant trip. He
faced his conflict by telling him that
people risked their lives for him
and he should be thankful for those
people and he should not complain
and be selfish, ignorant, and a jerk.
Thomas’ conflict was that he was
the worst soldier the army had. He
faced his conflict when he realized
that Robert can’t treat him better
than others. Then he prepared
harder and became a better
soldier.
Cabot Forbes conflict was that he
thought Robert wasn’t treating his
men like respected people. He
faced his conflict when he saw the
men in war and saw how they
performed.

character acts or reacts to
conflicts the way he does?
I think Robert acts/reacts to
the conflict the way he does
because he wanted to win the
war and he owed the men
because they are risking their
lives for other blacks.
Trip acts/reacts to the conflict
the way he did because he
realized that he can’t act like a
jerk forever and he wanted to
be like the people who risked
their lives for him.
John Rawlins acts/reacts to his
conflict the way he did
because he wanted trip to
become a better soldier and
he wanted to discipline trip.
Thomas acts/reacts to his
conflict the way he did
because he wanted to prove
that he can become a better
soldier (especially to Trip
because Trip always teases
him).
Cabot Forbes acts/reacts to
his conflict the way he did
because he didn’t want
tension between Robert and
him and he didn’t want
anything to happen between
them.
by the end of the film

worry free person to a person
who is respectful and knows the
danger of war.

being respectful and thankful.
He learned that grace and pride
is better than being ignorant
