Chapter 5 - Flat Character
This chapter was quite scandalous if I may say so myself. The Billy Pilgrim that has been described to us thus far is changing! He is a flat character, undoubtedly, but he adds a personality trait when he makes love to Montana Wildhack. That personality trait is uncharacteristic of his character. (Ya see what I did there?) The change of his personality comes through when "[He] uncovered his head"(100). This is symbolic because the sheet acts as a shield and when he uncovers he is taking a chance as a opposed to his usual mopey self.
