realism
naturalism
postmodernism

Explanation:

1. Romanticism: Peyton Farquhar has a romanticized, idealized view of war and adventure, craving the glory of military action rather than the harsh realities, which aligns with Romanticism's focus on emotion, individual heroism, and escapist idealism.
2. Realism: The story's unflinching depiction of the brutal, mundane realities of execution and the Civil War context, paired with Farquhar's relatable, flawed human desire for significance, reflects Realism's focus on authentic, unromanticized portrayals of ordinary people and their struggles.

Answer:

romanticism, realism
