Chapter 10
A major theme of this novel is the destructiveness of war. Throughout every chapter, Vonnegut continues to describe the horrific and tragic destruction of World War II. War destroys cities, people, and families. The novel puts most emphasis on the catastrophic bombing of Dresden, and also mentions other terrible events of WWII such as Hiroshima. It also gives that destruction in numbers by giving how many people died in the bombings. The whole book is about war and its destructive manner, and every word compiles the remembrance of Dresden, the destroyed city.
