In 2BR02B, Kurt Vonnegut applies complex comparisons within his writing in order to expose his hidden message stating that perfection leads to dehumanization. Take, for example, how he first introduces a seemingly utopian society by stating how “Death. [is] an adventure for volunteers” (Vonnegut 1). This juxtaposition between death and adventure underscores his message because it reveals how one of the biggest human fears, death, is perceived as an adventure in his “utopian” world. Fear is an aspect of human nature that every living being has, and death happens to be one of the greatest fears. By disclosing this human fear as an adventure, something seen as exciting and thrilling, one of the essential elements of humanity, fear, is taken away.
