Mustard Gas And Roses And A Solved Dilemma

It was in the beginning of the chapter, to be exact the first page when I saw a quote and suddenly I felt a like an epiphany. It is just amazing what I felt, today we were in class discussing the different types of narrators in the book, me and my group came to a conclusion that there is 3 narrators Vonnegut who was at war with Billy and shared some of his life with him, a third person omniscient and Billy Pilgrim as a first person. We all can tell that in the first chapter is Kurt Vonnegut talking about the book then somehow we change narrators and talk about Billy, Vonnegut explains his time in war what he did after wards and says, “I have this disease late at night sometimes, involving alcohol and the telephone. I get drunk, and drive my wife away with a breath like mustard gas and roses. And then, speaking, gravely and elegantly into the telephone, I ask the telephone operators to connect me with this friends or that one, from whom I have not heard in years.” (Slaughterhouse-five, pg 4) we know that, calling the operator was the way Vonnegut contacted his friend O´Hare, we also know for a fact that Billy and O´Hare are friends. So how do we prove that Vonnegut and pilgrim are not the same people as some say? “Billy answered. There was a drunk on the other end. Billy could almost smell his breath—mustard gas and roses. It was a wrong number. Billy hung up.(slaughterhouse-five pg 73) aha, as clearly quoted Vonnegut said himself that he was drunk and called his friends and he had a smell of MUSTARD GAS AND ROSES who called Billy that had mustard gas and roses, it was obviously Vonnegut. In other words, Vonnegut is not Billy therefore there are three different types of narrators and this may sound like a cliché but this case is closed and today´s dilemma was solved by me!
