Captain John Yossarian is a fictional character who is the protagonist of Joseph
Heller's 1961 satirical novel "Catch-22" and its 1994 sequel "Closing Time." In
game 22, Yossarian (Yossarian) was the 28-year-old captain of Army 256 Squad.
During World War II, it was the B-25 bomber stationed at Pianosa off the Italian
mainland (Pianosa) on the island. In the past, Yossarian's merits were based on the
author's experience. Heller was also the Army Aviation Corps Bomber stationed on
an island off the coast of Italy during the war. Heller later recorded in his
autobiography "Now and then"
A possible source for Yossarian's narrative adventure and efforts to be relieved
of his combat duties is Lt. Julius Fish, another bombardier and wartime friend to
both Francis Yohannan and Joseph Heller.
Throughout the book, Yossarian's main focus is for people to try to kill him
directly (by attacking his plane) or indirectly (by forcing him to perform tasks). After
his attempts to find answers through the use of logic and reason were thwarted by
the combination of vague bureaucracy, transparent but contradictory Army
regulations, and personality conflicts, his suspicion gradually turned to 'paranoia' '.
You cannot perform the number of tasks required to complete the task, because your
superiors continue to increase the number of tasks. He cannot pretend to be insane
and therefore cannot obtain the provisions of Section 8, because his superiors believe
that his desire to get out of the flight is a sign of perfect sanity (hence Catch-22).
Yossarian resists flight missions as much as possible, pretending to be ill or making
up excuses to return to base (such as a walkie-talkie failure). The novel began when
Yossarian stayed in the hospital due to the invention of liver disease. He processed
letters arbitrarily censored and signed Tupman (the name of priest) with Washington
Irving, Irving Washington or (when he was in trouble with the authorities) .
Whenever they are on vacation, Yossarian and his friends will spin as much as
possible, drink and sleep, know and worry that they will be killed in the next mission.
A prostitute they hired became Nately's unofficial girlfriend (she was only known as
"Nately's Whore" and "Nately's Girl"). Despite Nately's continuous improvement,
she cruelly rejected him until he did not sleep with her, but did let her sleep well.
The next morning, she had fallen deeply in love with him. When Nately was killed,
she blamed Yossarian for being dead. She showed enormous anger and tried to kill
Josephia in a way impossible in the rest of the narrative (continuously tracking
Josephia, even if she is abandoned hundreds of miles behind enemy territory, the
same thing happens afterwards). Yosarian teammates The squad placed their soldiers
in a large tent. At the beginning of the novel, Joseph Ryan was assigned to a tent
along with Orr. Third Lieutenant Mudd, known as the "Dead Man in Joseph Ryan's
Tent," was dispatched to carry out the mission and fight upon arrival. There is not
even a formal opportunity to register. Because the military followed illogical
bureaucratic procedures, Mudd was unable to formally remove his belongings
because he never officially arrived. Yossarian and Orr get along very well, Orr
customized the tent to make it more comfortable. After Orr was pronounced dead,
four new police officers were assigned to the store, but the Yousuan people could
not tolerate them. Sergeant Towser offered Yossarian the option of being assigned
to the same store as Nately, but he refused to leave. These new shop assistants call
Yousuria a "yo-yo". They are afraid of him, do whatever they can to help him,
always provide him with the most cordial and kind expressions, and show
unbearable coexistence. Due to their young age and lack of military experience, they
are unruly. They tend to like people that Yossarian hates and fears, and don't care
about the increase in the number of tasks. They did what Yossarian and the Air Force
could not: get rid of the "dead" in the Yossarian store and dump his property into the
forest. Snowdon "Snowden (character)" redirects here. For the snowman, see Snow
on the Ice. Snowden was a member of the Winner's (Yossarian) flight during the
mission, and was the catalyst for a fundamental shift in the Winner's (Yossarian)
mindset and perceptions. After his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire, Snowden was
seriously injured. The Josephians tried to treat the severe leg injuries with white
bandages and sulfa powder to help. Finally, Joseph Lian found Snowden's armpit
bleeding and realized that his armor had been wounded again. When Yossarian
opened the bulletproof vest, the fatal wound underneath exposed Snowden's internal
organs, which fell to the ground. Large pieces of anti-aircraft fire pierced his ribs
from behind. Yossarian saw it in shock. Snowden is dying, but he can tell Yusuan
that he is cold. Yossarian covered Snowden with a parachute and said "over there"
to comfort him. Snowden\u2019s death embodies the Usari\u2019s desire to escape
death. When he saw Snowden\u2019s internal organs splashed onto the plane, he
felt "That person is very important. That is Snowden\u2019s secret. Throw him out
the window and he will fall." Set it on fire and it will burn. Bury it, it will rot like
garbage. That is Snowden's secret. Maturity is everything. " The experience on the
plane greatly changed Yossarian's attitude towards life. He just had to protect his
own life and, to some extent, protect the lives of his friends. Yossarian opposed the
soldiers and refused to wear military uniforms. His defense was that he simply
"doesn't want to", perhaps because Snowden's death traumatized and depressed him.
The excuse Captain Conn gave General Dredel was that Snowden died in uniform
and his body had been submerged in the Usal's clothes, and all the other Usal's
clothes were in the laundry room. General Dredel said, "This sounds silly to me."
Josephrian replied, "Sir, this is really nonsense."
