  1. Cold Mountain: Chapter 3 Mark Newman

  2. Chapter Summary • Having departed from the hospital to embark on his journey to Cold Mountain, Inman encountered many hazards including wild dogs, bad weather, and the threat of the home guard. • Whilst stopping in a town for supplies, Inman is jumped by three men. Only by stealing a scythe from one of the men is Inman able to escape the situation after beating the men senseless • Inman then reminisces a time when he was gazing upon the groove of Ada’s neck, exposed by her unusual hairstyle • Finally Inman is able to utter some awkward words to Ada before she ends the conversation • The chapter ends with a wild night crossing a river with an American Indian woman who helps Inman escape from a group of violent men

  3. Epigraph “How did he ever think this to be his country and worth fighting for?”(pg. 80) Idea Disillusionment with the southern Confederate cause – reasons for desertion/war sickness – when, why

  4. Moment Definition • This quote reveals Inman’s lack of national pride, and belief in the confederate cause • He is having to run from his own countrymen so that he can live in peace and be reunited with the woman he loves • Inman no longer sees the south as his country or worth shedding blood for due to this breach of his freedom • This quote also reflects Inman’s choice of a life in Cold Mountain hopefully in the company of Ada over aiding the confederate

  5. How does the moment affect others? • It affects Ada in that later in the novel he will meet her and find out whether she loves him, and is willing to spend her life with him in Cold Mountain • It affects the Confederates as it is one less soldier they have on the front line to defend their country and beliefs, both of which are eventually lost

  6. Important Ideas in the Novel • This decision displays the idea that love is worth hardships • That you only live once and to take the risk of dying to try and seek out love is much more worthwhile than sacrificing your life for a government cause
