One of the primary themes is that, even in death, the world goes on, hence the recurring phrase in the book: "So it goes." Other major themes include: the destruction of war as well as the loss of free will.

The main theme of Slaughterhouse-Five is the destructiveness of war and the idea of fate and free will. Vonnegut explores these themes through the experiences of the protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, as he moves through time and space, witnessing the horrors of war and struggling with concepts of predestination and human agency.
