The growth of Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye

摘要

美国作家塞林格的作品《麦田的守望者》以第一人称的视角描写了主人公霍尔顿在因挂科太多被学校开除后在纽约流浪三天的的经历以及他的心路历程。虽然因为书中充斥着大量的脏话和青少年的不当行为而在当时饱受争议，但也不妨碍其成为美国当代文学中现代经典小说之一。这本书的意义不仅在于其高超的文字技巧更重要的是作者以霍尔顿的经历和心理变化影射了战后美国的社会现状。以及在物质快速发展的情况下国人的生活状态。并以霍尔顿为代表刻画了整个社会背景下青少年的心里矛盾，反抗与成长。这些重要的时代意义也使得这本书经历了时间长河的洗礼却依然能成为畅销书籍。本文将从分析主人公霍尔顿的经历与心路历程方向着手进而研究它所代表的时代意义。
