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.

Why Raina choose Bluntschli?

She is romantic, for example, when she remembers an opera (Verdi’s Ernani) in which a member of the aristocracy shelters an enemy; thus, she shelters Bluntschli, since it is “chivalrous” to protect him.

Who is chocolate cream soldier and why?

The “chocolate cream soldier” is the driving force of the plot. Bluntschli is a rationalist, meaning a man who believes in reacting to situations based on the facts, not on what is good versus what is bad.
