Adam and Eve

On page 95, Vonnegut makes a biblical allusion to Adam and Eve. He is describing how he wished that war movies would be played backwards. He showed how this would erase all of the death, sadness, and pain caused by war. This reversal would eventually lead to the creation of two perfect people of Adam and Eve. He hoped for a second chance where humanity would learn from its mistakes and try and avoid war in the future. However, I think he alluded to Adam and Eve to demonstrate the natural human flaws every person shares. Humans by nature share in the inevitability of pain and suffering.
