This essay is about whether Inman violent man or not. To answer this question, we have to look into many factors such as Inman’s experiences the Civil War and the decision he took to treat with different circumstances during his journey back home. Cold Mountain is a novel written by Charles Frazier. It took place during the American Civil War in 1861-1865.

Many times he used brutality because he had to defend himself and he had to help others such as Laura Forest and Sara. If I was in Inman’s situation, I would do the same. We also agree that Inman had hope apart from violent as we can see that he showed signs of great love for Ada as he describes that “But she filled him full and he believed that perhaps everything that had been taken out of him had been for a purpose. To clear for something better.” In the last part of the book, we also see that Inman tried to avoid killing a boy who was
