Innocence and childhood in Salingers "The Catcher in the Rye"
Holden, as an adolescent is sitting between two chairs: on the one hand he is growing up, but on the other hand, he does not want to leave childhood entirely. ... Additionally his childhood has been very joyful up to the point his brother Allie died and the trouble began. ... He would like to be the catcher and catch children if they are in danger of making a terrible experience. In the novel this is depicted by a metaphor (also indicated in the novel’s title The Catcher in the Rye): Holden thinks of a great rye field, where children are playing.
