Slaughterhouse-Five Short Summary PDF

In the novel’s opening chapter, Vonnegut mentions his time as a POW as well as his return to Dresden. He also discusses the process of writing the novel and is a minor character in the work. The next chapter introduces Billy Pilgrim, who is “unstuck in time,” moving throughout his life randomly. Told in chronological order, his story begins with his birth in 1922.

Later he is studying to be an optometrist when he is drafted during World War II. He serves as a chaplain’s assistant and is at the Battle of the Bulge, where he meets Roland Weary, a sadistic soldier who saves Billy’s life on several occasions, hoping to be seen as a hero. The two are captured, and, shortly before dying from gangrene, Weary blames his demise on Billy.

The latter is transported as contract labor to Dresden, where he and other POWs are kept in a slaughterhouse. He survives the firebombing at Dresden. Billy is later freed and returns to the United States, where he suffers a nervous breakdown. Following his recovery, he marries and has two children while becoming a very successful optometrist.

Shortly after his daughter’s wedding, Billy is taken by aliens to the planet Tralfamadore and exhibited in a zoo there. During his stay on their planet, he learns that Tralfamadorians have a completely different concept of time: for them, every moment, whether in the past, present or future, has always existed, always will, and will occur over and over again.

They are able to revisit any part of their lives at will, and so to them, an individual’s death does not matter, as they are still alive in the past. During this time, he falls in love with another kidnapped human, an actress named Montana Wildhack, and they have a child. Back on Earth, Billy survives a plane crash, and his wife dies on her way to see him. Billy subsequently begins preaching the fatalistic philosophy of the Tralfamadorians, who know the future of all things, including the inevitable demise of the universe.

They are designed to fate, unfailingly responding to events with their catchphrase “So it goes.” Billy eventually spreads this fatalism to many followers. After delivering a speech, he is killed by an assassin hired by Paul Lazzaro, a former soldier who heard Weary blame Billy for his death. However, Billy has long known when he will die and is not scared, since he can simply time-travel to an earlier moment in his life.
