Antihero

Billy Pilgrim is an antihero. He is not courageous or brave in anything he does. He allowed a sniper to take multiple shots at him while he stood in the road. Weary had to grab him and pull him in the ditch to save him.  In Chapter five, when the army fines Billy they have to put him in a mental hospital. He isn’t someone that could go and fight for them. It states, “Billy was put to bed and tied down, and given a shot of morphine” (Vonnegut 98). Billy can’t even function right and is being held in a mental hospital. There is no way he could be a hero.
