* [[Anti-Hero]]: Holden is a Type IV/V. |

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Holden is either a shining beacon of morality amongst all that was wrong with the 1950s, or a whiny prototype [[Emo Kid]] who refuses to let himself see anything good in the world, OR just one of the first examples of teenage disillusionment in a post-World War II world. Or you think he's telling you to kill pop-culture icons (see [[Loony Fan]] on the main page). It really depends on the reader. |

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Why is this book so frequently banned? Because it uses the word "Fuck"- during a scene in which Holden, discovering it scribbled where grade-schoolers can see it, tries to scrub it out so it can never offend anyone again. Considering how much Holden swears BEYOND "fuck," this is somewhat justified. However, this does miss the point, considering how iconic the book is. |
