Munted Trivia: Nately's Whore
Nately's Whore is a very tired prostitute who really has no interest in sex, and would rather sleep. She is constantly hounded by her kid sister. Therefore, Lieutenant Nately (who is madly in love with her), cannot convince her to engage in a (meaningful) relationship with him. She engages him sexually, but it is cold and mechanical, for she refuses to spend any time with Nately without pay. Because of her emotional distance from Nately, Captain Black would frequently sleep with her to aggravate Nately.
However, when she finally does get some rest, she falls as madly in love with Nately as he did for her. Ironically, shortly thereafter, Nately dies on a combat mission. When Yossarian arrives in Rome to deliver the bad news to her, Nately's Whore blames Yossarian for Nately's death. She subsequently dedicates herself to doggedly pursuing and ambushing Yossarian, often to exact revenge for Nately's death by trying to stab Yossarian. She finally succeeds by stabbing him in the chest after he is offered a deal by Colonel Cathcart and Colonel Korn, sending him to the hospital.
