Billy Pilgrim. What a guy. Billy is the protagonist of the story, but that's not the literary term I'm going to use. Billy, he's an antihero. Vonnegut describes him as "tall and weak, and shaped like a bottle of Coca-Cola . . . He looked like a filthy flamingo." Obviously, he doesn't sound very hero like. Heroes aren't shaped like Coca-Cola. So it goes.
