Ch. 6 (entry #1)

"It's the sweetest thing there is," of course Paul Lazzaro is talking about the only thing he seem to care about, and that is revenge.  Paul Lazzaro is definitely a flat character, because the only thing he talks or cares about is revenge. Lazzaro is a very one dimensional character who is cruel and vengeful, "'People f*** with me, and Jesus Christ are they ever f***ing sorry. I laugh like hell. I don't care if it's a guy or a damn. If the President of the United States f***ed around with me, I'd fix him good." (Vonnegut (138-139).  Lazzaro also tells Billy and Edgar Derby that he once killed a dog using a very painful method just because the dog bit him! If that is not cruel then I don't know what is.  Lazzaro also told Billy that he was going to kill him after the war because he vowed so after Roland Weary died. Lazzaro barely knew Weary I think he just wants to act like he did just so that he can use it as an excuse to sate his need for revenge and violence.
