Nately Essays

One of Yossarian’s friends, Nately, falls in love with a woman he slept with as she falls in love with him. Her name is never mentioned as the narrator refers to her only as “Nately’s whore.” Later, Nately dies and Yossarian is sent to inform her of the news. The news caused her to fall into a chaotic state of trying to kill him. In the chapters afterward, she tries

The phrase “curiosity killed the cat” was used to convey that unnecessary investigation or prying could lead to dangers. A man named Charles Perault, wrote the fairy tale “Bluebeard”, published in 1697, which helps argue the phrase and shows the extent of which the dangers can come to: death. However, the course of events in the fairy tale was used for the purpose of scaring the audience of children who read the tale into behaving and following the rules in the hopes that they do not become reckless

Chapters 1-7: Elements of Humor In Catch-22, by Joseph Heller, humor is strongly sensed throughout chapters 1-7. In chapter one, the first sign of humor is when a soldier, by the name of Yossarian, is admitted into a military hospital because of liver problems. The comical aspect of that, is that Yossarian is faking the whole thing so that he can get out of duty. Another great example in chapter one is the ending. This is because many of the patients decided to leave the hospital and go back into

complete their number of missions required to get home. Referring back to my second point, Yossarian told Clevinger that Cathcart is an enemy. These two thoughts seem to be in conflict with each other. Lastly, while Nately is having a conversation with the old man in chapter 23, Nately makes a statement which the old man opposes saying, “I’m afraid you have it backward. It is better to live on one’s feet than die on one’s knees.” (Heller 247) My understanding of the old man’s statement is that it’s

War’s effect of wiping away the personal characteristics of the soldiers and amalgamating their identity demonstrates its destructive nature. In “An Overview of Catch-22,” Darren Felty’s critical essay, the author emphasizes Heller’s satire of the systematic devaluation of human life through war.

“What does a sane man do in an insane society?” (qtd. Heller). Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 attempts to answer this question, which in turn begs the questions what is insanity and what is sanity? Heller creates many situation which present the insane society. He defines an insane society in many ways including being blindly loyal, using backwards or circular reasoning to justify mangled logic, and paradoxical situations. Yossarian struggles against this insane society yet is constantly trapped, as there

Nately, a character with a Harvard education and a thoroughly patriotic mindset demonstrates this as he is shown beaten in a

In a situation devoid of any strict set of values and standards, no one is impervious to shifting morals. In Joseph Heller's Catch 22, each character faces a predicament of whether, when indulging in some sort of self-interest, they will care for or disregard others. In the midst of death and uncertainty, Yossarian tries to hold onto his humanity as a way of maintaining his morality while those around him either die because of others or fall into their own selfishness. Yet, while he fears death

The book jumps around and isn’t in chronological order, rather it is a collection of

relationships and still receive the glorious prize, sex. This is all the men really care about. This view of love as a conquest is further reinforce when one of the soldiers thinks he has fallen in love with a prostitute. This soldier’s name is Nately.

In the novel Catch 22, the author Joseph Heller has created the main character Yossarian to be both a war hero, and a storybook hero as well. Although the story is loosely based around Heller’s true fact and acquisitions, the character Yossarian is believably played to be more of a heroic type of soldier. Between his countless missions on bombing and photography planes in WWI, experiencing a dear friend die right in his arms, and being faced with tough decisions of either putting lives at stake,

In the case of Catch-22, Yossarian has many friends who die during the course of the novel , such as Nately, McWatt, Kraft, and Snowden.

start of this story, Heller displays a few of the most suitable conceptions and conducts of the day in a adverse way. Particularly, he signifies the adverse consequences of willingness in religion and features individualism as a way to live also recognizing how one is composed and repressed by society in general.

Catch-22 does not present a strong sense of patriotism during the film, America is rarely mentioned and represents more a lack of fighting to the main character than anything else. The film almost seems to mock the patriotism that drives young men to enlist for war.

Viewing every attack as a

and absurdity that the characters experience”(Yan Jun). The narrator goes through great lengths to build up character descriptions, sub-plots, and backstories but wastes no time when describing a death of a character. Characters like Kid Sampson, Nately, Hungry Joe, etc seem to die somewhat randomly. Instead of having an intense build up of a death, the narrator gave Kid Sampson “propeller to slice him half away” (Heller 337) instead of a long, drawn out death. While not all characters are given

he begins by first criticizing heroism through the character of Yossarian. As presented earlier Yossarian is an anti-hero and he is not like the typical traditional hero. However, Heller does ridicule some more traditional heroes in the novel like Nately to explain to the reader that instead of being brave or courageous your actions and reaction should of a coward. The lack of respect for war that Heller portrays through Yossarian, who lacks the courage and is a coward, helps the reader understand
