Abstract
This paper analyses the power structures in Joseph Heller's Catch-22. The analysis takes a detailed look at the relationships between the characters that belong to a hierarchical military system, such as the relationships between Colonel Cathcart and Yossarian. The paper explores the distribution of power and the consequences of it being primarily in the hands of the superiors whose orders were treated as laws that could not and should not be questioned. Heller criticizes the system because of its wrong outlook on authoritative forces, such as the military or the government, and their complete power in a society whose members often had no right to a voice of their own and were often unable to uproot their disadvantageous positions. All of these points were expressed through the use of language like irony and paradoxes, fragmentation, and satire designed to show the readers how complicated and easily corrupted the workings of an organization like the army really are and how hard it is to discern the lies from the truth in that kind of environment.
