  • It Is Easy to Interpret Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five and Anthony
    It is easy to interpret Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five and Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange as cynical and pessimistic novels. The profusion of graphic images involving death, gang violence, and war make it difficult to walk away from either text with a hopeful outlook for the future of mankind. Thus, many literary critics label Vonnegut and Burgess as fatalists who argue for an acceptance of deterministic forces that eventually cause humans harm and suffering. However, other critics, such as Liu Hong, Wayne McGinnis, Todd Davis, and Kenneth Womack, all contend that at the end of the day Vonnegut and Burgess offer an opinion of humanity that is hopeful and encouraging. To these critics, the authors ultimately argue that the individual has the ability to determine their own fate in a horrific and often hurtful world. The standard debate concerning these two revolutionary authors has thus been one between a message of either hope or disparagement. It is a debate that has long been discussed among literary critics and continues to be an ever-changing discussion. My contention is that both Vonnegut and Burgess each create a body of work that offers the reader hope, empowerment, and an optimistic outlook of a future that is better than their present, or rather the present setting of their characters. Thus, I agree with critics like McGinnis, who calls Slaughterhouse-Five Vonnegut’s “most hopeful novel to date” (McGinnis 121), or Davis and Womack, who find that A Clockwork Orange’s protagonist ultimately finds a hopeful and optimistic conclusion in embarking “…upon a lifetime of familial commitment and human renewal.” (Davis, Womack 34).

  • Elements of Gallows Humor in Vonnegut's Slaughter House Five
    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.41, 2018 Elements of Gallows Humor in Vonnegut's Slaughter House Five Negar Khodabandehloo M.A. Student of Payame Noor University, Arak Branch, Iran Mojgan Eyvazi Assistant professor, English Department,Payam-e-Noor University, Tehran, Iran Abstract This study analyzes the outstanding satirist Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughter-house-five to demonstrate how the elements of Gallows Humor are applied to provide a better understanding of the author's worldview and of his narrative process. This is an anti-war book in which Vonnegut has attempted to blend the serious theme with humor. Through the choice of his protagonist- Billy Pilgrim- and the manipulation of black humor, Vonnegut exposes the atrocities of war from a new viewpoint. The focal point is to extract the phrases containing gallows humor, a sort of black humor, to be studied and explained by details, accordingly some literary terms are to be precisely defined and the unique style of writing is indispensable. Keywords: Anti-war, Black Humor, Gallows Humor, Satire, Humor, Vonnegut 1. Introduction Gallows humor is a kind of black humor in which the threatened person witnesses the oppression. As the name represents, the person threatened is implicated with no hope and no way to escape from the disaster. The misfortune is obvious to him, and he prefers joking about it instead of feeling sorrow. This section includes a definition of the gallows humor followed by some examples for more clarifications. In an essay posted on the website of the Philosophy Club, which meets regularly in Santa Monica, CA.

Lori Philbin A Thesis in the Field of English for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2018 Copyright 2018 Lori Philbin Abstract The scholarship focusing on the work of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. has largely centered on his novels. Most studies have neglected Vonnegut’s start in the popular magazine market writing short stories. A few notable scholars have focused on the stories: Jerome Klinkowitz, Peter J. Reed, Jeff Karon, James Thorson, and Steve Gronert Ellerhoff. Even with the work of such scholars, there have been few studies that consider the context of Vonnegut’s earliest stories and how the influence of the middleclass magazine market not only shaped Vonnegut’s career but had continued impact on his later novels. This study explores Vonnegut’s first eight stories: “Report on the Barnhouse Effect,” “Thanasphere,” “EPICAC,” “All the King’s Horses,” “Mnemonics,” “The Euphio Question,” “The Foster Portfolio,” and “More Stately Mansions.” The stories are considered within the context of their first publication venue, the magazine Collier’s, and how that context shows connections between the stories and his novels such as Player Piano, Cat’s Cradle, and Slaughterhouse-Five.

  • Cat's Cradle: the Apocalyptic Creativity of Kurt Vonnegut
    Re ds111 clt• fa111dios Norte11111erica110.1·, 11. º 6 ( /998). pp. 25 - J.J CAT'S CRADLE: THE APOCALYPTIC CREATIVITY OF KURT VONNEGUT J ESÚS LERATE DE C ASTRO Uni versidad de Sevilla From the earlicst times down to our own days, St. John 's vision of the Apocalypsc has been the source for a considerable corpus of imaginativc works which have cxplored the rclationship bctween individual and community by meaos of the historical proccss of fin itudc. It is thercfore not surprising that apocalyptic imagination reaches its greatest heights in hi storical and cultural periods which are marked literally or symbolically by a profound sense of destruction and death. While therc is no doubt that this elemcnt of pessimism pcrmeates much of apocalyptic literaturc. it must be noted that, strictly speaking, the biblical concepl of the Apocalypse has a clear prophetic oricntation. To quote Lois Zamora: Apocalypse is not mere/y a synonym for disaster or catadysm or chaos. It is. in fact, a synonym for «rcvelation», and if the Judeo-Christian revelation of the end of history includes - indced, catalogues- disasters. it also envisions a millennial order which represents the potcnti al antithesis to the undeniable abuses of human history. ( 1O) The same paradoxical inteJTelation bctwccn destruction and construction. bctwecn catastrophe and revelation, is thc structural principie articulating the narrative world of Ca1 's Cradle ( 1963 ). Kurt Vonnegut's fourth novel can be interpretcd from a ncgative standpoint laying cmphasis, as Stanley Schatt <loes, on the idea that its apocalyptic ending does not entail any kind of universal revelation or transformation, since «lhere is no suggestion ..

  • On Updike and Vonnegut
    Dawes 1 Review Greg Dawes Somewhere Beyond Vertigo and Amnesia: Updike's Toward the End of Time and Vonnegut's Timequake Two of our elder statesmen, two of our most renowned novelists, John Updike and Kurt Vonnegut, have published science fiction novels on the notion of time. In their context time can be construed in a number of ways. In a general sense both Updike and Vonnegut are nearing the end of their (biological) time, both having published an enormous amount of enlightening fiction. We are also coming upon the end of the millenium and we appear to be witnessing the decline of the American empire. Both novels, Updike's Toward the End of Time and Vonnegut's Timequake deal with these existential and social issues and attempt to prod us into doing something about the socio- economic and political changes that are taking place in the late 1990s. In an essay on Vonnegut's critics, John Irving, it seems to me, sums up poetically Vonnegut's and Updike's intentions as novelists: Catharsis--perhaps it is also an unpopular word today, or at least an old- fashioned one--relies on upsetting readers. You purge fear through evoking it, you purify pain by rendering it, you bathe the heart with tears. Vonnegut can hurt you, and he does; he means to, too. When the sunny dreams and the harmless untruths evaporate--and they always do--a ruined planet is what we look upon; his books make us wish we were better.1 Copyright © 1998 by Greg Dawes and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Dawes 2 Timequake is written with irony, humor and sarcasm to wake us from our stupor and apathy and to warn us of what awaits if we do not try to radically transform this society.

  • A Postmodern Iconography: Vonnegut and the Great American Novel
    A POSTMODERNICONOGRAPHY: VONNEGUTAND THE GREATAMERICAN NOVEL "Call me Jonah". The opening line of Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vomegut's end-of-the-world masterpiece, unmistakably echoes that of Moby-Dick, Herman Melville's end-of-the-world masterpiece. Indeed, such echoes are audible elsewhere in Cat's Cradle, from the "cetacean" Mount MacCabe, which looks like a whale with a snapped harpoon protruding from it, to the great Ahab-like quarrel with God, humorously figured in Bokonon's thumb-nosing gesture at the novel's end. In pointing to Moby-Dick, as likely a candidate as ever was for the "great American novel". Vonnegut registers his own entry into the contest, but here it is also bound up in the laughable impossibility of the project. The novels of Kurt Vonnegut are not generally the first to come to mind when one thinks of the great American novel. Indeed, this latter, elusive thing-impossible and, perhaps, not even desirable-has long been a bit of a joke, the sort of thing an aspiring writer claims to be working on, or (even more likely) something a writer's parents, friends, and others say that he or she is working on. The great American novel is always a dream deferred; it cannot really exist, it seems, for that very reality would probably undermine any novel's greatness. The "great American novel" really belongs to the nineteenth century, not the twentieth. It existed there as a dream of writers and critics, desperate to carve a distinct national culture from the variously influential European traditions.
