Providing countless examples of gallows humor in both literature and film, this presentation explores the many instances and utilities of "black humor." While the definition is not explicitly stated, students can deduce what gallows humor is based on the numerous cultural examples. Note: Catch 22's Yossarian is misspelled "Osarian" in slide 4.
