Setting

As I have discussed before, the setting is a key aspect to any book, and can reflect a certain character.

The character Holden Caulfield is a pretty depressing character, and the setting reflects it perfectly.  They are near Christmas Day making, it cold, harsh, what makes it more bleak, is the fact that all the snow on the ground appears to be melting. Holden is currently in New York City which is known for being a crowded place, but it feels as if it were empty,and lonely. Which is exactly how Holden feels. This helps add to Holden's character, almost making him blend into the setting, as if it were part of him. The right setting can change the perspective of your reader towards your main character

Setting

In The Catcher in the Rye the setting is very import towards the plot of the story, as it helps highlight certain moods in the book.

 As we know how bleak Holden can be, the setting that the author creates compliments it very well. There was a part of the book in which it was cold, and harsh, making the scene very gloomy. Holden makes several references to suicide throughout the novel, the setting suits this topic. The setting can make any plot stronger if used correctly, it can make it seem vivid, and lifelike. It can really suck a reader in.

Character

2. Discuss Character

The main character from The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield is a depressing character. Holden is the type of guy that will always look for the negative in any setting. If you take Holden to watch a movie, he will not enjoy it, he will only think of it, as him being in a big dark room watching a screen. Holden also makes several references to suicide throughout the book and often victimizes himself. This is not a good quality for someone to have, it can scare off potential friends, and is the reason why Holden feels so lonely.
