Yossarian was committing his traditional rights of freedom and independence with the boldness of exercising them.
In Joseph Heller's "Catch-22," the character Yossarian embodies the struggle for personal freedom and independence. His bold actions reflect his commitment to these values, highlighting the tension between individual desires and societal expectations. Yossarian's journey represents a quest to assert his autonomy in a chaotic world dominated by war and bureaucratic absurdities.
This pursuit of freedom is central to Yossarian's character development. By exercising his rights, he challenges the oppressive systems around him, emphasizing the importance of self-determination even in dire circumstances. Heller effectively illustrates the conflict between personal liberty and the often irrational demands of authority through Yossarian's resolute stance.
