The core of Black Humor is the Absurd. This paper mainly deals with the protagonist of Catch - 22, who is caught in an absurd situation Catch-22. Through analysis, we can see that Yossarian is a brave person, for he rejects Catch - 22, which increases his horror of death and makes him feel that his bombing mission is pointless and unimportant. And at the same time, he is a fail person, for he can never escape the world - spread Catch - 22, and his retreating to Sweden also means his failure. The whole situation is absurd and illoggical, which is irrevocable in that age, like the same situation in 1960s, especially like the situation those Hippies were in. After WW II , many Americans suffered persecution, both in political area and in business area. People felt very hopeless. So they rebelled constantly. They refuse to conform the tradition of morality and revolted the rule of government, like what yossarian has done against Catch- 22, in the totally chaotic world, though they cannot predict any hope of victory.The ages they were in decided that they were failures, the same as the essence of war decides Yossarian a failure.The war, together with the island Pianosa allude to the insane, trance- like, con, fused American society in 1960s; Yossarian, the drug- taking hippy generation of 1960s. Both of them, according to their ages, are brave failures.展开更多
