I think Aunt Alexandra was a huge part of the story, and I think they should have kept her in the movie.

In Milton’s Paradise Lost, Adam converses indirectly with God through the archangel Raphael, whereas in Genesis, God talks to Adam, but Adam does not speak back.

Critical Book Review of Slaughterhouse Five
In Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut explains his experience of the World War II bombing of Dresden, Germany.
