The Catcher in the Rye - ‘Holden Caufield is an Island’ John Donne’s quote‚ ‘No man is an island’ connects quite directly to Holden Caulfield in ‘The Catcher in the Rye.’ Holden’s character is very relative to themes such as isolation‚ loneliness and non-conformity. Holden has a very distinct character; he has many features‚ which would describe him as quite a lonely‚ cynical young man. It is evident that a past of his has had such an effect on him that the adolescence he has become quite

Holden also states that he is “the most terrific liar you ever saw in your whole life.” This would support the reason why he continuously says “no kidding.” He wants to make sure that people believe him because many times he knows he’s lying.

Salinger’s The Catcher in The Rye and Naomi Nickel from Miriam Toews’ A Complicated Kindness show they are anti-heroes. Not being able to comply with society’s expectations and acting rebellious are what negative traits these two possess‚ but show a softer side from their compassionate personality and actions. Although both Holden and Naomi possess negative characteristics‚ which suits the anti-hero‚

Located in the second circle are for me the two most important symbols about Holden in the book. The first item is Allie’s baseball

Catcher In The Rye: Holden Caufield Holden Caufield was a high school student at a boy’s academy by the name of Pency Prep. He feels as though he had fought the world and lost‚ everyone is against him and that little can bring him joy. He had lost his innocence‚ and saw himself as a "catcher in the rye"‚ trying to save children from his fate. Holden is quite the eccentric individual.

Another coming of age element that proves that Holden is a coming of age character is Idealism to Realism. Most of the time in the novel Holden idealized kids and viewed them as innocent and pure.

Once when Stradlater asked Holden to write a detailed essay on one subject‚ Holden opened up about his brother Allie that died from

Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye‚ Holden Caulfield relates to all people and their experiences.

Salinger relates Holden Caulfield to readers with the use of foul language and provocative wording. Salinger may even overuse the swearing in some parts in order to emphasize Holden’s lack of maturity and respect. Holden says‚ "I damn near puked‚ listening

A Cheap Ol’ Red Hat Holden Caulfield has a dominating dilemma throughout The Catcher in the Rye‚ his need for companionship and his longing for isolation. Adding to this confusion‚ he is caught between wanting to preserve the innocence of a child and wanting the independence of an adult. A cheap and simple red hunting hat‚ with no significance to anyone else but him‚ is the symbol for these conflicts. The hat is inseparable from J.D. Salinger’s portrait of Holden for a good reason: it is a symbol
