Description
In an ever-changing society beset by technological growth, Kurt Vonnegut has found dissatisfaction with traditional masculine behavioral patterns that perpetuate masculine aggression. Vonnegut abandons gender-specific roles to propose alternative methods of behavior through his creation of passive protagonists. These passive protagonists have a nurturing element and an ability to share their essence with others. This feminine nurturing element is seen by Vonnegut as a critical element essential for humanity's evolution and salvation. The passive protagonists examined are Eliot Rosewater in God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse-Five, and Rabo Karabekian in Bluebeard.
