Catcher in the Rye To Holden, society effects people in a way that makes them adapt to society and lose who they truly are. He is annoyed how the population hooks into the habits of society to fit and succeed within. Holden's helplessness to suit society brought on hatred and instead of acknowledging he was at fault as well, he critiques all the individuals in groups based on deceitfulness. He has pessimistic and even distrustful opinions of the world. He dislikes the fact that the power that society has over people and how it can easily convert a harmless child into someone fake. Seen all throughout Holden Caulfield's life we can sense insecurity and an anti-social persona. He is young and is only trying to discover his place in life. He wants to understand where he belongs at that moment and who he’ll eventually be. The fact that he is overcome by intensifying emotions enables him from developing completely. Among Holden's negative outlooks on society and the fact that he has isolated himself, he had become lost and desired for a friendship. In the midst of all these emotions and feelings he still couldn’t make room for acceptance. Uncertainty overcame Holden’s thoughts. He began thinking that society would not appreciate or acknowledge him for who he was and hence he continued to lie. All of this stopped Holden from receiving what he longed for which was approval. Holden's life seems to open in chaos. He had battles throughout before his insight when watching Phoebe on the carrousel. This is when he ultimately experiences a physical and emotional downfall. Holden achieves progress just before the end. Holden’s recognition of Phoebe's desire to go and "grab for the gold ring" shows that he realizes Phoebe’s a growing being who deserves to exist and create her own existence and face risks along the way. During this time, Holden understands this is part of growing up. This is where he evolves and realizes he doesn’t need to be the protector. Either way, Holden's growth has started. He gives the impression that he is prepared to give in to the unavoidability of growing up.
