Holden Caulfield
Holden Caulfield (born c.1932) is the fictional teenage protagonist and narrator of author J. D. Salinger's 1951 novel ''The Catcher in the Rye''. Since the book's publication, Holden has become an icon for teenage rebellion and angst, and now stands among the most important characters of 20th-century American literature. The name Holden Caulfield was used in an unpublished short story written in 1942 and first appeared in print in 1945.
Although it has been conjectured that J. D. Salinger got the name for Holden Caulfield in ''The Catcher in the Rye'' when he saw a marquee for ''Dear Ruth'' (1947), starring William Holden and Joan Caulfield,〔Saturday Evening Post, July 15, 1944〕 Salinger's first Holden Caulfield story, "I'm Crazy," appeared in ''Collier's'' on December 22, 1945, a year and a half before this movie was released.〔(William Holden (I) - Biography )〕
==Appearance and personality==
Holden is naive and at the same time resentful of the adult world.〔(Cliffs Notes: The Catcher in the Rye - Character Analysis: Holden Caulfield. Accessed 15 February 2013 )〕 He is very caring and respectful, which really shows throughout the story. One of Holden's most striking and quintessential qualities is his powerful revulsion for "phony" qualities, a catch-all term for the perceived hypocrisy that irritates Holden. It is this cynicism that causes him to distance himself from other people, despite wanting connection as well. Holden is very much a character of contradiction; at seventeen years of age he is six feet two-and-a-half inches tall, and already has some grey hair - though he himself admits that he sometimes acts more like a 13-year-old than an adult. He continually fails classes and calls himself "dumb."
