Catch-22‚ and Stanley Kubrick’s film‚ Dr. Strangelove‚ the bureaucrats are illustrated as illogical and untrustworthy. Heller’s attention to administrations such as the hospital and the military-establishment are recognized for their unreliable rationality and logic.

Here‚ Nelson is showing that Joseph Heller’s use of the hospital is to mainly show that the hospital in Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is a means of escape from the atrocities of the war. However‚ Heller more importantly uses the hospital as a place where “the danger that the wound occasions results from the doctors who want to treat him by operating on [Yossarian’s]

Most probably‚ fragment 22 CA was not composed during the archaic period. Its meter and especially its language -which has affinities with archaic epic and lyric diction‚ later Euripidean drama and even Moschion‚ and is full of rare words- situate it within the broader context of the ‘New Music’.
