The Great Depression becomes a metaphor for laughter and pain. The Great Depression was a worldwide, economic depression that was rampant during Vonnegut's youth. It lasted for over a decade and only ended with the ending of World War II. Vonnegut remembers it as a hard time that had great comedy because of it.
