I'm put in mind of the main character in Red Badge Of Courage. In the beginning he breaks and runs away, thus having a morale of 'Broken' and the status of 'Coward'. In the final battle he breaks again, but this time runs toward the enemy, now having a morale of 'Fanatical' and the status of 'Hero'. In both cases his emotions are exactly the same, and he can't figure out one from the other.
