Chapter Six

In chpater six, we learn more about Lazzaro with an indirect charactization. Lazzaro says, "Anybody ever asks you what the sweetest thing in life is- it's revenge" (139). Lazzaro is a man of revenge. If somebody crosses him, he will kill them himself or hire some one to kill them. Lazzaro even killed a dog that bit him. To me, Lazzaro has had a bad past and thinks people are out to get him. Later in the chapter, we learn of Billy's death. He was shot in the head by some one who was hired by Lazzo to kill Billy. Billy later arrives to Dresden with one hundred other American prisoners. They were sent there to be hired as labor in Dresden.We learn where Vonnegut got the title of the novel. Slaughterhouse Five is the place the prisoners stayed in while in Dresden.
