The relationship between fear and moral action is simple to understand because majority of the time the two ways of living life can’t co-exist with each other. Fear and moral action can’t co-exist in neither Catch 22 nor real life, because if a person were to act out of fear it would inhibit their morals and make them act in a way they normally wouldn’t and the same goes the other way, if a person acts off the morals they believe in the fear they have won’t change that. In Catch 22 and real life we rarely see people acting with both the fear that encompasses them and the moral action they would take given a different circumstance. However, it isn’t impossible for a person to act based off the fear they feel and the morals they believe are right.
