초록

This study tries reviewing J. D. Salinger’s long novel, 『The Catcher in The Rye』, from the perspectives of some of modern civilization critics and so-called structuralists, including Foucault, Habermas, Adorno, and Lacan. So far, there have been many studies mainly analyzing the inner part or psychology of the hero, Holden Caulfield, but rarely full-scale analyses of modern society’s effects on Holden. This novel shows Holden’s schools, represent a modern society cutting individuality, taming him/her into one of socially-remodelled parts of a society. Holden’s spontaneously dropping out from Pencey, therefore, means his struggle to find an ideal world symbolized by a rye field. Some critics call this novel’s finishing scene tragic, while others positive. I reserve clear conclusion, and instead suggest the novel’s end shows Holden’s struggle against the modern society will continue thereafter in the back and forth process between Seymour’s self-discipline in an existing society and Huck’s escape to a rye field.
