Holden's behaviour
Holden's actions don't make sense
  • Sometimes he wants to be alone, and then he manically searches for company
  • He lies compulsively and his lies don't follow any logic

It is obvious that Holden is literally about to 'crash'
  • he feels as if he falls into an abyss when he steps off a curb

Slide 18 - Diapositive

Why?
Holden struggles with the fact that he is growing up - nearing adulthood
  • There are 'adult things' he likes: drinking and smoking - but these are self-destructive 
  • He doesn't know how to deal with the feelings he has (emotional and sexual)
  • Throughout the novel Holden's solution to dealing with his fears is to avoid reality
