... In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield repeatedly fails in his attempts to reengage the blissful past. ... Holden can no longer be the catcher in the rye, shielding the innocent children from the corrupted adult world. ... Holden is realizing that the fall from the rye field down the cliff to adulthood is unstoppable and is beginning to accept it. As a young boy is singing “If a body catch a body coming through the rye”, it “makes [Holden] feel better” (115) because he thinks the song is about someone like himself, catching children and preventing them from making a terrible fall. ... (211) He realizes that he must let go of the role of the catcher and continue to adulthood because it is inevitable.
