【正文】 , Catch22 shows that the soldiers lost their selfesteem. But the loss is not only owing to the war but also caused by the bureaucratism. The typical example is that lieutenant Scheisskoph was so immersed in parade that the soldiers were puppets rather than human. He even thought about bonding the soldiers together so that they can march in step with each other. In addition, the colonel Cathcart was also the same. He kept raising the number of missions not out of the needs of war but because he wanted to improve his military prestige among the soldiers. The ―soldier in white‖ is a different example for the extinguishing of individualism. The soldier appeared twice in the novel. Every time 18 Yossarian and his friends saw him was about plaster and gauze. No one knew who was inside. Every time he was injected the same kind of clear fluid. It is absurd and obviously shows that he is not a real person. Bureaucratism also leads to the disintegration of moral values. Milo made deals with the enemy bombing his own airfield and convince the higher authorities that it is beneficial for everyone. In the modern military bureaucratism, value did not exist. People found that they were involved in a crazy society. Everyone was trying to find solutions. Yossarian can not fight with those bureaucrats face to face. If he did that, he would only be a victim. As a result, the best way for him is to escape. One of the other themes developed in the novel is the question of what is right to do in a basic moral dilemma, social dilemma, prisoner’s dilemma where a person can cooperate with others to their collective greater payoff or can sell them out by not cooperating, and reap even greater benefits as an individual. Another theme is the turning on their heads of notions of what people generally think of as morally right or wrong, particularly patriotis m and honor, which lead most of the airmen to accept abusive lies and petty rules of bureaucrats, though Yossarian wholeheartedly disregards all such notions. When Major Major asked why he wouldn39。s works are characterized by a satirical sense of the absurd, speaking out 13 against the militaryindustrial plex and those anized institutions which seem to manipulate people39。s second novel, Something Happened (1974), an expose of the capacity of the business world to crush the individual, is a pessimistic statement about the effects of prosperity on the human condition. We Bombed in New Haven, a play produced on Broadway in 1967, is a tragiedy similar in theme and mood to Catch22. Good as Gold (1979) involves a humorous portrayal of Jewish family life and a satire of national politics, including attacks on real people such as Henry Kissinger. God Knows (1984) is a humorous retelling and analysis of the biblical account of King David. Among his later works are the novels Poetics (1987) and Picture This (1988) Closing Time (1994) Portrait of an Artist, as an Old Man (2021). No Laughing Matter (1986) is a chronicle of Heller39。 as a teenager, he wrote a story about the Russian invasion of Finland and sent it to New York Daily News, which rejected it. His works were first published in 1948, when the Atlantic ran one of his short stories. That first story nearly 12 won the ―Atlantic First. In 1953, he began to write his Catch22 and it was published in 1961. Shortly after Catch22 was published, Heller thought of an idea for his next novel, which would bee Something Happened. After that, he became a professional writer and kept on writing until the pletion of his last novel, Portrait of an Artist, as an Old Man. Reality is the setting of literature. Heller’s life experience affected his writing career. He was born into a Jewish family. Because of racial persecution in Russia, his family immigrated to America in 1913. When he was young, his family was very poor. In 1942, at the age of 19, he joined the . Army Air Corps. Two years later, he was sent to Italian Front as a bombardier. Yossarian, the main character in Catch22 is similar to him in many aspects. After the war, Heller studied English at the University of Southern California and New York University. During that period, he began to write short stories. He was once suffered from gullianbarre syndrome. His illness and recovery are recounted at great length in the autobiographical No Laughing Matter (Heller 1986). In 1998, he released a memoir, Now and Then: From Coney Island to Here, in which he relived his childhood as the son of a deliveryman and offered some details about the inspirations for Catch22.

Joseph Heller, the author of this novel described many absurd images in a symbolic way. Many words, phrases, and dialogues in this novel are disorder, repeating, dubious and paradoxical. It is the wonderful deduction of black humor. The author of this paper mainly analyzed black humor in catch22 through concrete discussing the black humor in portraying the characters, deepening the theme, arranging the structure and selecting the words and sentences in this fiction.
