What is most commonly referred to as Bluebeard, however, started as a Mother Goose tale transcribed by Charles Perrault in 1697. The story is about a man with a blue beard who had many wives and told them not to go into a certain room of his castle (Hermansson ix). Inevitably when each wife was given the golden key to the room and a chance alone in the house, she would always open the door and find the dead bodies of past wives. She would then meet her own death at the hands of her husband. According to Casie Hermansson, the tale was very popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which spurred many literary figures to adapt it, including James Boswell, Charles Dickens, Herman Melville, and Thomas Carlyle (x).

  • “I Can't Sell Nails”
    “I Can’t Sell Nails” Paper Presented to the Indianapolis Literary Club James A. Glass May 5, 2014 I first met Irma Vonnegut Lindener at a luncheon in the Athenaeum arranged by her younger cousin, Catherine Glossbrenner Rasmussen.1 The year was 1976, and I had met “Catey,” as Mrs. Rasmussen liked to be called, through a historic preservation project that my office, the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, was conducting with the Junior League of Indianapolis. Under the persuasive influence of Reid Williamson, the new Executive Director of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, the League had adopted historic preservation as a service area for its volunteers. One of its first projects was nominating the Old Northside neighborhood for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The project would entail considerable historical research. We decided that one way of gathering valuable information would be to conduct oral history interviews with some of the women who had grown up in the Old Northside area during its time of initial prosperity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When Catey heard about the project, she contacted me, then a 24-year old staff historian, about her interest in family history and in the preservation of some of the family homes in the Old Northside. That led to the luncheon at the Athenaeum with Mrs. Lindener, whom Catey called “Aunt Irma.” Aunt Irma turned out to be the daughter and only living child of Bernard Vonnegut, one of the most prominent and gifted architects in Indianapolis at the turn of the 20th century.

DEDICATION Vonnegut introduced the following letter to babies in God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies – ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind’” (129). This thesis is dedicated to my grandmother, Barbara Wilson, for being my own personal manifestation of this “letter to babies.” It is also for Dr. Steven Connelly. I don’t know where I would be if he hadn’t assigned three Vonnegut novels in his freshmen composition course at Indiana State University, but I can say with certainty that I wouldn’t be writing a dedication for my master’s thesis on Kurt Vonnegut.

However, it is his work as a critic of science and technology during the Cold War period which helps to complicate a man who so often seems dismissive of human beings. His connection with the General Electric company and his experiences in World War II complicated the views of a man who, for the first twenty years of his life, fully expected to become a scientist.

  • The Efficacy of Science Fiction for Social Satire in Kurt Vonnegut's
    ABSTRACT Getting the Joke: The Efficacy of Science Fiction for Social Satire in Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle—with Perspective Gained from Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener” Ren Osouli Director: Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Since the start of his literary career, Kurt Vonnegut's novels have been characterized, and stigmatized, as science fiction. This thesis sets out to vindicate Vonnegut from the “hack” genre that has limited his reception, contextualizing Cat’s Cradle within the real moral and social concerns relative to the author’s own life. Vonnegut masterfully imbues this novel with satirical commentary on contemporary society, especially its increasing reliance on science and technology. I analyze his novel Cat’s Cradle in light of the work of lauded American author, Herman Melville’s short story “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street.” Evincing the parallels in social commentary and satire that place Vonnegut’s piece on par with Melville’s, I argue that Cat’s Cradle not only transcends the genre of science fiction in its moral commentary but also that this tale of apocalypse accentuates Vonnegut’s optimistic humor and approach to life. Ultimately, Kurt Vonnegut’s narrative functions on an ethical level which Melville’s neglects, such that Cat’s Cradle is able to give a vision beyond the black humor present in both pieces.

In his bedroom that night, the narrator reads from a book about Dresden's history that O'Hare placed on his bedside table. The latter is transported as contract labour to Dresden, where he and other POWs are kept in a slaughterhouse. The demystification of the human form through body humor also relates to the prevalence of the bestialization of the soldiers in the novel. This caused some confusion among readers, as for some time many assumed that Vonnegut wrote it; when the truth of its authorship came out, Vonnegut was reported as being "not amused". Vonnegut was at one time a member of a Unitarian congregation. Last but not least, how about that Duty-Dance With Death? Hawke adopts a confidential, whisper-like tone for his reading.

  • Serendipity, Scientific Discovery, and Project Cirrus Walter on Roberts Lecture
    Serendipity, Scientific Discovery, and Project Cirrus Walter On Roberts Lecture Duncan C. Blanchard Albany, New York ABSTRACT Irving Langmuir defined serendipity as the art of profiting from unexpected occurrences. Numerous such occur- rences during World War II led Langmuir and Vincent Schaefer from research on gas masks through a variety of defense- related projects ending with the supercooling of clouds. Serendipity led Schaefer to discover that dry ice could nucleate ice formation in supercooled clouds and Bernard Vonnegut to discover ice nucleation by silver iodide. The government- sponsored Project Cirrus grew out of these discoveries. During Project Cirrus (1947-52), many serendipitous discover- ies and inventions were made, opening up areas of research still being pursued today. There has been speculation on why the role of serendipity is seldom mentioned in reporting discoveries in technical journals. The aversion to it may be ego related, the feeling that chance or luck is not good science. Editors inadvertently discourage it by the straight-jacket requirements in the writing of papers. By being curious, persevering, widely read, and aware that many branches of knowledge must often be brought to bear on a problem, one can be prepared to expe- rience serendipity when it occurs. l.On the mountain of Mount Washington in the winter, so it is likely that he had asked this question before, if only to him- On a cold winter's day early in 1946, three men self.
