Best Answer

The Catcher in the Rye is about a young man who has not yet learned to cope with life. He desperately wants to be considered fully an adult, and he equally wants to stay a child and not have to deal with the "phoniness" and ugliness of the adult world. The knots he ties himself into ove the internal war with himself result in a nervous breakdown.
