Theme Of Beauty In Catcher In The Rye

Although Holden values intelligence in women, Holden often allows physical appearances cloud his judgment. Most people suppose like Holden does, and that is if someone is attractive, he/she will likely be chosen over a person who is not as attractive. Holden is a sixteen-year-old teen, who is experiencing rapid hormonal development. This means that the better-looking the girl, the more interest he will have in her, even if she is dull-witted.
