The Red Badge of Courage

How would you describe the way Henry fights in Chapter 17? Why does someone laugh at him during the lull in the fighting?

Chapters 16-18. Thank you

In Chapter Seventeen, Henry fights like a wildman.... like a man possessed. The soldier laughs at him because he is astonished by Henry's sudden passion.
