The following is a list of characters in the novel Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
Significant characters
Captain John Yossarian is a fictional character in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 and its sequel Closing Time, and the protagonist of both books. In Catch-22, Yossarian is a 28-year-old Captain and B-25 bombardier in the 256th Bombardment Squadron of the Army Air Corps, stationed on the small island of Pianosa off the Italian mainland during World War II. Yossarian's exploits are based on the experiences of the author; Heller was also a bombardier in the Air Corps, stationed on an island off the coast of Italy during World War II.
Tappman (also called R. O. Shipman in some editions) is a naïve Anabaptist minister from Kenosha, Wisconsin, who is tormented throughout the novel by his rude, manipulative atheist assistant, Corporal Whitcomb. Easily intimidated by the cruelty of others, the chaplain is a kind, gentle and sensitive man who worries constantly about his wife and children at home.

Catch 22
by: Billy SquierI read you like an autograph...you love the spotlight
You shoot me like a photograph...you get me uptight
You're gunnin' for me every day...go straight for the heart
Say you want me--you push me away...say it tears you apart
You're on the inside...I'm on the outside
Don't matter whose side...you take the other side
I can see you walkin' down the aisle...you're thinkin' long-range
I've seen you work the miracle mile for loose change
You can have it anyway you want...your fancy dinners in the restaurants
Even though they leave you hungry inside, it's a free ride
You show your bad side...it's so undignified
Get off your back-side...you're talkin' suicide
Go and be what you wanna be
Sink your time and your hooks in me
You can hold me down--take me 'round and 'round and 'round
You catch me when I'm 'bout to fall...but you leave me there
What really matters doesn't matter at all...you don't care
It's hard to figure in your life...it's a roundabout
You're makin' it so hard to give in...but you won't let me out
You take the right side...I'm on the wrong side
