Billy Pilgrim, the novel’s protagonist, has “come unstuck in time,” meaning he can move freely from one period of his life to another. Vonnegut briefly details Billy’s life: he was born in 1922 in Ilium, New York. He studied to be an optometrist for one semester before being drafted. He served in World War II, finished his optometry studies, became engaged to daughter of the owner of the optometry school, and “suffered a mild nervous collapse.”

But the novel is not nihilistic in its representations of war and violence. In fact it presents two philosophies of death that eventually intertwine. The first, represented by the phrase “So it goes,” indicates that death is a part of life—something that cannot be helped. The second is the Tralfamadorian view of life “in four dimensions,” the fourth being time. Because Tralfamadorians see all moments of life (and of literature) as existing at the same time, one is capable of moving between moments of life and death—capable of becoming “unstuck in time.” This motivates the novel’s acceptance of death as part of life.
