Why does Vonnegut think that ending the book with Edgar Derby's death would be ironic?

Vonnegut thinks that climactic end of the book with Derby's shooting would be ironical since Elgar was a kind and just man who did not deserved to die.

Explanation:

The Slaughterhouse-Five storyline revolves amidst world war and its climactic endings. In the story, a strong emphasis has been put on Tralfamadorian philosophy. With the death of each of the phrase “So it goes” appears meaning the relative presence of a person in a moment and absence in another.

Hence, in the story Vonnegut not only dismisses the conventional climactic story structure which would probably end in the shooting of Elgar Derby who was otherwise a kind and just man. He was to receive the punishment for a petty mistake of being caught with a teapot. However, the destiny prevails and “so it goes” meaning that Justice does not prevail in death.

Before you start ANY essay, include a header (your name, date, class, teacher, etc). Also, Use indentation (or tabs) to indent every paragraph. Your teacher might ask for it to be double spaced, font size 12, and in times new roman. I created a version of your heading in my Attachment.


Other than that, I did like how you would say stuff like "With a flick of a wand, I soon fell under the spell of my next reading adventure" I thought that was extremely cool. Also, You might want to combine a few paragraphs so that your essay isn't too lengthy. Finally, sometimes teachers don't like it when you use lenthy words (like you said "<span>These riveting enigmas led me to the lands of dinosaurs and the mystical world of wizards"). Some teachers see that as a way for people to use up word count, but then again its not completely wrong. Personally, I would use simple words instead of such detailed words that a lot of people might not understand.


I hope this helps, and if you can, can you mark me brainliest please? thanks!</span>
