Abstract Jerome David Salinger’s great novel The Catcher in the Rye, is one of the pioneering works in the post-modernism literature。 This novel mainly tells about a cynical boy Holden Caulfield with his three days’ experience and mental process in New York after flunking out of school。 By using approaches of analysis and comparisons, this paper focuses on the characteristics of Holden and the reasons why those are caused, and aims to explain the “disease of the times” of the writers and youths of the Beat Generation under the special social background, and their pursuits for the true, the good and the beautiful that were hidden in their unrestricted behaviors。 The explanation for this theme owns the realistic meanings and positive influences on mitigating the contradiction between the special groups and the normal life and shortening the gap between the adolescent and the society。
