All of these have fundamentally shaken the firm belief of the people to God and the univer
14、se, people no longer looking for spiritual solace from Christianity. Catch-22 was born in this special context: God and Christianity increasingly lost cornerstone function which in the past been widely recognized and play the role of the moral and spirit.

In China, Li Junsheng (2011) gave interpretation of the black humor and symbolism of Catch-22 through to analysis the characters in the
18、 novel. Zhang Ling (2010) from the perspective of textual analysis discussed the generation mechanism of black humor. Zhang Hao (2007), based on the examples of a lot of black humor in the text language, from paradox, parallel antithesis, repetition, mutatis mutandis, and the juxtaposition of rhetor
19、ical level, revealed the authors means of using black humor to deepen the irrational theme of the novel and pointed out that the language features of black humor is surreal characterization of its showing of the irrational world. Jin Haiyun (2005) made an interpretation of hero Yossarian from the po
20、int of view of the anti-hero. Gao Yu (2006), through description and depiction of various characters sketched all living creatures of contemporary American society. Xiang Lin (2001) elaborated Catch-22s writing style. The content of the novel also produced a number of reviews from innovative angle;
21、such as Huang Wenjing (2008) based on the novel content came up with Catch 22 was not symbol of eternal ultra-words, not Hellers myth , and was just a uncertain metaphor of, no certainty. Wu Xiaoyun, Xiong Wanqiong (2008) summed up the narrative technique of Joseph Hellers Catch-22. In addition to t
22、hese, there are many analysis works from a new perspective. Yang Hong (2007) gave an interpretation of the alienation of the characters in Catch-22; put forward the most important theme of the novel: the alienation of the soul reflects the absurdity of the social reality. Zhang Nana (2008) revealed
23、the conversational implicate in the Catch-22 and proposed to apply the pragmatics session meaning theory to the novel analysis. Liu Yujuan (2009) from the art described the features of the black humor, the novel uses exactly scattered form that same with the performance of the absurd content, put th
24、e fragment of the real plot and a lot of ridiculous plot blend together which shows disordered logical and complex content. From the point of view of the human spirit, Xiang Shimin (2000) analyzed the works of black humor, affirmed the value of the Catch-22. Peng Peng (2010) analyzed the militarys i

26、 blend the humor and horror, comedy and tragedy, thus revealing the ruthless and cruel of the war. Cha Ming (2011) brought forward that the most outstanding artistic attainments was achieve black humor this modern aesthetic form, which showed the language features of black humor literature.Although
27、the book was published nearly 50 years of history, but this work is still has a big space to study. Whether it is based on the current form of research or my own expectations, I believe, as a typical representative work of black humor, the research of Catch-22 will be more and more systems, in-depth
28、, and innovative.3. Understanding and Definition of Black Humor in Catch-22Unlike traditional humor, black humor is a special kind of humor; it is desperate, crazy, deep and cynical humor, which is an important characteristic of black humor. Black is opposed to the light and joy, is in pathological
29、features an ideological and emotional aspect, which is gloomy and depressed, is despair, sorrow and pain, and is an objective reality. However, humor is a satire and to ridicule the objective reality. It reflects the emotions of spicy, grief, anger and cynicism when the morbid mood combined with tra
30、ditional humor. The so-called black humor refers to the kind of sick and absurd humor in seeking pleasure from cruel. Black humor is a literary form that uses comedy form to express the tragedy content. It is a comedy tied together with pain and laughter, cruel and tenderness, facts and absurd. Ther
31、efore, it is also known as black comedy, desperate comedy, humor under gallows and humor faced with imminent disaster. The main features of the black humor in the create tendency is that find humor from the black (dark), and use humor to deal with the black. The former refers to the writers view of
32、the world and the content of the work, and the latter refers to the writers attitudes of conduct themselves in society and creative attitude. In other words, the writer of black humor hold that universe, society and life are not only ridiculous, ugly, cold and dark, but also grotesquerie, mysterious
33、 and hard to guess. So, everyone is living in an absurd, morbid situation, and this situation is closely linked to the suffering, anxiety and death. In order to highlight describe the absurdity of the People around the world and social oppression to the individual, they use a magnifying glass and di
34、storting mirror to make the absurdity and oppression be enlarged, twisted, distorted, which makes the absurdity and oppression become more absurd, ridiculous, and more abnormal unreasonable, ugly and hateful. But it also pinned the mood of pessimism and suffering that they have no alternative. There
35、fore, some people said that black humor is a literary form in desperate conditions to use comedy to perform the tragedy content, it is reasonable. In short, we can completely look it as a desperate humor.4. Joseph Heller and Catch-22 4.1 Joseph Heller Joseph Heller (1923-1999), the representative of
36、 American black humor and absurd writer, was born in Brooklyn, New York City, a Russian-Jewish family. During World War II, he served as an Air Force lieutenant. After the war he studied in the college, and graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1948. After graduated fr
37、om Columbia University with Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949, Heller got the Fulbright Research Fund and went to the University of Oxford in England for a year of advanced studies. From 1950 to 1952, Heller taught at the Pennsylvania State University and other schools. Since then he left school to wo
38、rk in Time and Outlook magazine editorial office. In 1961, his long novel Catch-22 was come out and got the fame, and that year Heller gave up his duties, and worked specialized in writing. In addition to the Catch-22, Heller had published two novels: Something Happened (1974) and Good as Gold (1979
39、). The former through describing the daily life of the American middle class managers to reflect their anguish, loss of the spiritual world; the latter with a witty and sarcastic stroke painted a caricature of American politics and social life by the life experiences of a Jewish intellectual who att
40、empted to get involved in officialdom. Heller had ever written the script; such as We Bombed in New Haven, etc, but had little impact. Hellers novel is based on the real life. It was reflecting some aspects of American life with a certain degree of understanding and aesthetic value through the disto
41、rting mirror and the magnifying glass of art. Of course, his work has some common mistakes of black humor literature, such as showing the helpless feeling to social reality.4.2 Catch-224.2.1 Catch-22s Writing Background Catch-22 was created in the 1960s, after World War II, various American social c
42、onflicts intensified, people began to feel uneasy and disappointed to present situation, McCarthyism made people doubt the capitalism that they always believed, especially after they witnessed the brutality of war and bloody, people were forced to face a world that traditional concepts and value con
43、cepts were lost and people began to doubt and deny their own traditional values, and anxiously to the existence of their own. At the same time, they felt the absurdity in the everywhere of materialism society. The special background made the black humor come into being. People were eager to find spi
44、ritual relief from the literature of humor and satire. Black humorists had influenced by existentialism and anti-novel, and they have carried out a bold innovation from either the subject or writing skills, and have depicted an ironically world by absurdity. The writer of this genre had focused on t
45、he description of the absurdity of the world around the characters, the social oppression to individual and alienation of human nature. They use magnifying glass and distorting mirror of art to put the absurd and oppression in this life as well as alienation of human nature to be amplified, distorte
46、d, and thus made that more absurd and hideous abomination And also pinned their own dissatisfaction and resistance to social reality. Joseph Heller was the representative of the writer of black humor literature in the United States, his novel Catch-22 was created out under this social background. Ca
47、tch was a pun, refers to both require and the trap, it had no written basis, but existed everywhere, while people could not get rid of. Catch 22 was always bound the little people to make them into a state of alienation and unable to extricate themselves, like a faint network that both all-inclusive
48、 and unpredictable. It became a magic weapon of officers to govern and made fun of soldiers under the capitalist system.4.2.2 Catch-22s Synopsis During World War II, a flying brigade in the United States stationed on the island of the Pianosa” in the Mediterranean. This was a strange world.
