Works of Comedy which Overcome the Obstacle of Death

[ send me this term paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing two works of comedy which manage to overcome the obstacle of death. In David Ives’ “All in the Timing” and Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22” both considered dark comedies, several elements are used in order for the obstacles of death to be overcome. In “All in the Timing” which contains six one act plays, Ives frames the last 36 hours of Trotsky’s death by the one act play proceeding it “The Universal Language” and the one act play which follows it “Philadelphia” which both included elements of the ridiculous while the Trotsky play itself manages to overcome its dark content by Trotsky’s fear of ice picks all the while having a mountaineer’s axe wedged in his head. In “Catch-22” Joseph Heller frames the life of his central character, Yossarian convinced that others are trying to kill him in the war and has a constant fear of death, with the deaths of others and the unusual reactions to these deaths. Yossarian himself manages to overcome death by successfully employing many tactics in order to do so. Ironically however as Yossarian manages to overcome death, he is more riddled by the death of others around him. As in the plays of Ives in which death is “talked around” the vision of Trotsky, a similar scene occurs in “Catch-22” in the death of Mudd who dies not long after he arrives and is therefore dumped in his tent and ignored. Each death scene in “Catch-22” however contains unusual observances and ultimately lightens its impact. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
