Much like Holden Caulfield, Yossarian seems to want to prove his point of how wrong the war is, and so he is unchanging in his views as he wants to live as long as possible. • Colonel Cathcart o Very indecisive throughout the text, as he tends to over think things o Also seems to care little of his men as he continually volunteers them for dangerous missions o Can be seen as…
