In Joseph Heller's novel "Catch-22," a critical scene emphasizes the constant danger faced by the protagonist. The tension mounts as a knife is thrust at him, narrowly avoiding its target. This moment highlights the pervasive threat of violence and the absurdity of war, which forces individuals to react instinctively for their survival.
The act of fleeing captures the urgency of the situation and the chaotic environment soldiers endure. It serves as a poignant reminder of the precarious nature of life in wartime, where danger lurks unpredictably, and one's instincts become crucial for survival.
