Bluntschli is a Swedish professional soldier who fights with the Servians during the war. He has none of Raina or Sergius’s romantic notions about war. He thinks courage is overrated and that war is more often ugly than noble.
Is Bluntschli an anti hero?
Bluntschli is a kind of “anti-hero.” He is dubbed by Raina to be the “chocolate cream soldier”—a moniker that inspires images of weakness and sweetness—because he typically carries chocolates rather than extra ammo.
What is the relationship between Raina and Bluntschli?
Raina and Bluntschli have a relationship that is authentic and honest from the start of Arms and the Man. In contrast, Raina and Sergius are romantic with each other. He is the dashing calvary officer, and she his adoring lady.
