On a lighter side, The Good Soldier Schweik warmed the cockle of the heart of the reader with it's cynical, but comical, outlook on the illogics of war. Then came Catch 22. The subject of death permeates the text of Catch 22. Not only death of the body, but death of reason and of the ability to communicate or to rely on reality. This 5 page paper explores the concept of death as it is presented in the book and looks at the question of: who or what is the enemy? Bibliography lists 4 sources.
