"Courage" by J. M. Barrie is a rhetorical address delivered at St. Andrews University in the early 20th century. The speech, aimed primarily at students, explores the importance of courage in the face of life's challenges. Barrie reflects on his personal experiences and the broader responsibilities of youth towards national issues, especially in the aftermath of World War I. In this address, Barrie emphasizes that courage is the essential virtue needed to navigate the complexities of life and to demand a partnership between youth and their elders in shaping the future. He critiques previous generations for their naïveté regarding the realities of war and encourages the students to actively engage in the political and moral landscape of their time. Using personal anecdotes and references to historical figures, he urges young people to embrace courage not only in adversity but also in the pursuit of truth, understanding, and genuine connection with others. Through his thoughtful reflections, Barrie presents a vision of youth as catalysts for change, urging them to take a stand for their beliefs and responsibilities as they transition into adulthood.
