Resolve The "slaughterhouse Five" Traumatic

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is one of the most important postmodernist novelists emerged in the 1960s. Slaughterhouse-Five is his first novel to receive wide critical and popular acclaim and is undoubtedly his best achievement. Many critics have given high praise for the novel's structure, theme, narrating techniques and so on. But we have to notice one point of the background of this novel, which is that the author creates it because of his own war trauma. Trauma study began in the 1920s and received intense attention since then. Famous theorists are Freud Sigmund, Herman Judith and so on. This thesis attempts to give a new perspective for the understanding of Slaughterhouse-Five by interpreting the trauma in it, together with its unique narrating techniques, aiming at giving a critical response to the inhuman and cruel war.
