Abstract

The Catcher in the Rye enacts the conflicts and confusions of the hero------Holden as he spares no effort to explore a peace and beautiful rye. Though The Catcher in the Rye has been much written about, this final article in the novel series give fresh insight to the character and the experience of Holden and the loss and yearning of Holden Caulfield. Many critics have approached this book with different perspectives，such as society, history, culture and religion. Their critical reviews, however, focus more on the psychological analysis of the hero and the contradiction between people and authority. However，few critics have studied the initiation process of the protagonist and touched on the theme of initiation in the novel. Based on these previous studies，the present thesis is intended to conduct a systematical study of The Catcher in the Rye in how to accommodate oneself to the compete society. The thesis divides into four chapters. Chapter One introduces the perspective adopted in this thesis--the source of Holden's loss and yearning．Chapter Two offers a brief introduction of Holden's way to struggle against the loss and yearning. Chapters Three present a detailed analysis of Holden’s development of loss and yearning. Chapter Four is a summary of the conclusions that we have come to．To sum up, this article told us that one should accommodate himself to live in the society.

Key words: The Catcher in the Rye; Holden; loss; yearning

摘要

《麦田里的守望者》成功塑造了霍尔顿这一反英雄形象，该书已成为公认的当代美国文学，乃至世界文学的经典。该书的研究者大多借助语言学，心理学等相关理论分析文章。然而，这些分析过多侧重于人物的心理阐述，以及在20世纪50年代社会大背景下反应出来的社会矛盾与现实问题，而淡化了小说主人公霍尔顿从迷失到憧憬这一巨大心理过程中所反应出的成长主题。很少有人从如何调整自己以适应社会潮流的角度来研究霍尔顿的成长过程。在总结前人的研究基础上，本文从如何适应社会这一主题进行分析主人公霍尔顿从迷失到憧憬这一心理过程，全文可分为五个部分：第一部分，是全文的引言部分，简要介绍国内外学者对该书的研究，指出本论文将要探讨的主题，为后文的分析做出铺垫；第二部分主要介绍作者霍尔顿的生活经历和性格特征，从而使后文对霍尔顿从迷失到憧憬，从憧憬到迷失这一巨大心理过程的分析更加透彻易懂；第三部分论述霍尔顿在迷失和憧憬相结合的矛盾心理状态下所作的挣扎；第四部分主要分析霍尔顿由迷失到憧憬，再由憧憬到迷失的心理历程中引出论文主题，即人应该调整自己以适应社会而不是选择逃避；论文的最后一部分即全文的结论，人作为社会活动的主体，应该学会如何适应社会，而不是选择逃避现实。
