My English teacher wants us to connect Dark humor/satire/character analysis of a character from Joseph Heller's book Catch-22. She assigned the character Major Major Major Major for me. Also, she wants me to focus on the strongest elements at work in the novel - that dominant effect. How does Major Major Major Major come into connection with dark humor and/or satire? What are some facts on the character that can lead to dark humor/satire?
She wants us to answer the question: What is Heller's purpose in using dark humor? What social statement is he making? What is he asking the reader to question? What is he trying to accomplish?
