Who's the dead girl at the end of Catch-22?
Towards the end of Catch-22, we see Yossarian confront his friend Aarfy in a room where the latter confesses to raping and murdering a girl by throwing her out of the window.
Who is the dead girl? The two men talk as if she's not a stranger (and also not a prostitute).
Best Answer
According to the Wikipedia entry on the book on which the movie is based, she is the maid, Michaela, and she represents innocence:
Toward the end of the novel, Aarfy rapes and murders a maid, Michaela, while on leave in Rome. This inadvertently forms the emotional center of the novel. When an aghast Yossarian tells him that he will be arrested and possibly executed, Aarfy laughs dismissively that no one would do that to "good old Aarfy": "But I only raped her once!" he explained. Yossarian was aghast. "But you killed her, Aarfy! You killed her!" "Oh, I had to do that after I had raped her," Aarfy replied in his most condescending manner. "I couldn't very well let her go around saying bad things about us, could I?" "But why did you have to touch her at all, you dumb bastard?" Yossarian shouted. "Why couldn't you get yourself a girl off the street if you wanted one? The city is full of prostitutes." "Oh, no, not me," Aarfy bragged. "I never paid for it in my life."

Who all died in Catch-22?
During the mission the incompetent copilot Dobbs seizes the controls from Huple, the 15-year-old pilot, and the radio-gunner, Snowden, is killed. His grisly death has a profound effect on Yossarian, who appears naked at the next formation and at Snowden's funeral.How does Catch-22 movie end?
Colonel Korn eventually agree to send him home, promising him a promotion to major and awarding him a medal for the fictitious saving of Cathcart's life; the only requirement being that Yossarian agrees to "like" the Colonels and praise them when he gets home.How accurate is the Catch-22 movie?
And it's not far from the truth, either. Despite the story and characters of Catch-22 being entirely fictional, the story is thoroughly inspired by Heller's life and his a career as a bombardier in the U.S. Army Air Corps.Lauv - Who (feat. BTS) [Official Visualizer]
