Catch-22: How it relates to The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail explains Thoreau's life from when he was a young adult until later in his life. Throughout the play, he is in a jail cell with Bailey, his cell mate. The setting takes place during the Mexican War. The audience sees his life and witnesses his experiences. The pantomiming actor is supposed act out different scenes in his life. Thoreau hates the war involving America and disagrees with the war effort. His stubbornness gets him into trouble, like getting into jail. The intelligent man believes he knows everything and the audience shows how he received all of this knowledge which was through different events in his life. The play explains transitions and how the setting should look with different nature like looks. This shows the Romanticism aspect of the play, even though it was written during the Modernism era, making this play written at a different time it was depicted.
Catch-22 can relate to each of these elements. The setting takes place during a war, WWII, and the main character, Yossarian, disapproves of the war around him. The audience reading the book experiences the different events in which Yossarian witness while getting his opinion on the matter. He's not particularly stubborn, however, he refuses to accept his involvement in the war and tries to leave as much as possible. Yossarian is not particularly intelligent however he learns things from his colleagues throughout the book. The book describes the setting, relating to Romanticism, and describes the nature. It was written during the Modernism era, but was used for Postmodernism. All of these aspects are similar.
