Comparing Catcher In The Rye And Holden Caulfield

Trying to find who you are and growing up to a young adult is a hard time for many people. Adolescence is a time between when you’re a kid and your transition into a young adult. Sylvia Plath from The Bell Jar and Holden Caulfield from The Catcher In the Rye are just two examples that can be relatable to not only each other, but to many us as well. The main protagonists from both The Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar compare to each other in ways some people might not see. They both feel like they are lost from everyone in society and most discernibly towards themselves, they go through appalling failures and hardships, and they also both face some sort of depression.
