Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is an interesting novel in that throughout the novel the plot seems to go nowhere. It just seems like a set of events tied together through the main character Yossarian. These events, while powerful, don't seem to lead to much of a point until the reader finishes. Then, out of nowhere, the meaning of the book emerges. Heller does a great job of wrapping up the book. By making Yossarian escape, the meaning of the book is set in stone. Catch-22 is a novel that discusses the fact that the importance or value of one thing to one person, might be completely different to another, such as in the cases of selling goods on human life with ex-PFC Wintergreen , Milo Minderbinder with his steering wheel and dealing, and DocDaneeka and his description of what it takes to get home. Each character in the novel seems to have a certain way in which they judge their own power, importance, value, and/or duty. In the entire book, the only character who resembles someone with a good opinion of himself is Yossarian. He seems to be the only character who realizes the insignificance of the war effort because almost all the people in the novel are fighting for the wrong reason. He says: "Should I get killed just because the colonel wants to become general?" Other characters, such as former PFC Wintergreen, respond to questions with answers that appear to make no sense. In case Yossarian asks Wintergreen to get them off the flight to Bologna because they will probably die, Wintergreen comes back with the incredible response “Then you will have to be killed. ...if you are destined to be killed for Bologna, then you will be killed, so you might as well go out and die like a man. I hate to say it, Yossarian, but you're becoming a chronic complainer." The importance of life has disappeared. Former Corporal Wintergreen is more concerned with selling his wartime wares than with the life of a friend. Another strange character in the story was Milo Minderbinder. The person originally called to run the canteen, who later had his own business, M& M Enterprises, where he traded things to earn things for himself. He collected objects, such as artwork and sculptures, that would be truly valuable after the war. The only problem with this is that it got to the point that he would trade valuable things with
