Esther Greenwood of Bell Jar and Holden Caulfield of The Catcher in the Rye

A stereotype of Sylvia Plath 's novel "Bell Jar", Esther Greenwood, and JD Salinger' s novel "The Catcher in the Rye" is about to be constructed. And maintains a normal relationship with others. Both roles are virgins, but they share a common view on sex, lose virginity and are almost identical in the face of first sexual contact. The features of Esther and Holden are the theme that is repeated in the novel, that it can not meet the expectations of other people, that it can not talk with others in educational, personal, social and family environments, and the result Brought to isolation as.

Bergear's adolescent and adolescent adolescents catcher is the period from puberty to adulthood. This teenager's experiences are different, some people live a happy life, others are not fortunate. And I realized that this moment is more difficult and tense than I thought. Esther Greenwood and Holden Caulfield are one of the unhappy people when young. Salinger and Plath show this with their novels "The Catcher in the Rye" and "Bell Jar".

Both of these characters will eventually appear in inappropriate places. When Esther was in New York, she tried to be a person who was not. This made her stay away from her stay; she just puts a facade
