Vonnegut uses satire, from innocent and witty allusions to burlesque, sarcasm, and cosmic irony to attack American society in the 1950s and 1960s. These forms of satire can be seen in "Miss Temptation", "Welcome to the Monkey House", and "All the Kings Men". In 'Miss Temptation', Susanna's “devilish beauty” (75) or evil beauty causes mad Puritanism to fall “into such ruin” (75). The insinuation of Vonnegut's opening sentence attacks the so-called modern thinkers of the time, the ignorance and conformist attitudes of the 1950s. Vonnegut compares American civilization to that of the Puritans, who were extremely intolerant of anything different and possessed the epitome of conformity. Puritans didn't even go to the theater or plays, and Susanna was “an actress” (77). The theme of Puritanism and innocent sexual innuendo is carried forward throughout the story. Hinkley laments that "all [his] pleasures look to those that were pleasures" (81). Hinkley and the rest of the town find that their only entertainment during the day is watching Susanna's "tinkly walk" around town. Suppressed by puritanical attitudes, the citizens can only enjoy Susanna from afar. The spirit is also used in "Miss Temptation", as Susanna uses it against Fuller. Susanna criticizes Fuller and the other "stupid people" (86) who judge her by her appearance. She couldn't help it if Fuller wanted to "kiss her" (86) and asked, "who's to blame?" (86). It is not Susanna's fault that she was born with "feathered hair" (75) and black eyes. Fuller hated Susanna simply because she was a girl and supposedly made "more people unhappy" (78) than happy. It was not the town that was displeased with Susanna, but Fuller who felt that "beautiful girls gave him pain" (82). The humor and irony of it all is that Fuller caused Susanna more pain than she had ever felt from a girl by excluding her from the human race. Sarcasm is also used in the story. Fuller criticizes American women as “the greatest actresses in the world” (77), only to “put an ice cube” (77) in a man's hand. In 'Welcome to the Monkey House', Puritan ethics and morality go a step further to outlaw all pleasure including sex, even for reproduction, “so science and morality go hand in hand” (31). Just as Fuller took the humanity away from Susanna because of her sexuality and sensuality, ethical suicide parlors and the ethical suicide pill took the humanity away from society as a whole..
