Understanding Holden Caulfield
Scene Summary and Context Guide: Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger's novel, is a teenage boy who has recently been expelled from his prep school. Throughout the story, Holden struggles with feelings of alienation, confusion, and a desire to protect innocence. In the narrative, Holden often employs colloquial language and creates a distinctive voice that reflects his inner turmoil. Key phrases such as 'phony' and 'escape' reveal his attitude towards society and his personal struggles. For example, Holden describes the adult world as 'full of phonies,' highlighting his distrust and disappointment. His interactions with others are often marked by sarcasm and a sense of detachment, yet he also exhibits moments of vulnerability and a desire for genuine connection. The story unfolds as Holden recounts his experiences, revealing his complex personality. The phrase 'If you really want to hear about it...' exemplifies his reluctance to share but also hints at the introspective nature of his narration.
