@hmol257 Fair enough. The question of whether Holden's depression is justified is complex and subjective, and I accept the difference in our opinions. I kind of raged when I read that you hated him, though, since he's one of my favorite characters from fiction.
-
@Plyrx08 I think the main problem here is that we think about his issues in completely different ways. In my understanding of Holden, his isolation and rejection by society are due to his rejection of society for its phoniness. The other problem is that I am stubborn and failed to mention before the following fact: my comment was arrogant and misinformed, based on my meta-memory of the book as a teenager, some time ago, when I clearly did not understand the book. I hope you can accept that.

@hmol257 pt.2. "...he ends up in depressing situation after depressing situation- but as to those other problems?"
Pardon, but it sounds like you're basically isolating the trouble he had with phoniness and the lack of reality in the world, but not considering the other troubles he had. Namely the one I pointed out, his complete and utter rejection by society as a whole. Add that to the phoniness, the death of his sibling, etc etc... and his life becomes a lot worse.

@hmol257 1. No, I'm not trolling you, I just found it curious that you could deal with tragedy so well.
2. Based off of what you said, is it safe to say that one of the main reasons Holden had such trouble grappling with the problems of reality is that the death of his brother shattered him emotionally so much? Also, I was just pulling some of his tragedies off the top of my head, not listing them.
3. You're only discussing the problems he had with phoniness, not isolation.

From now on, every time I am in a bookstore, I am checking all the John Green books to see if John secretly signed one. Even though I doubt that he has ever been to where I live.
