Still No Regret


Slaughterhouse seemed to cover every thematic topic I could think of- except for regrets.  So, yet again, I will revert to the question DOES Billy regret?  The answer, in my opinion, is no.  He comes off as aloof and in a way unapologetic.  He seems to think a bit more as the Tralfalmadorians do- that life just happens.  We can’t control it.  We have no free will, and it’s out of our hands.  So why would there be any regret?  This is an extremely short blog post, but I feel it goes along with the message that there’s no point to dwell on something that has no answer.  It just simply is.  Billy Pilgrim does not regret.
