WHAT IS WRONG WITH HOLDEN Caufield? We will continue with our analysis of who he is, the contradictions embodied by Holden. For example, he is highly critical of entertainment and popular culture in general, yet he spends time talking about movies, theater, going out to see music, to dance, and to met with friends socially. Holden claims to be noble and honorable in his relationships with women, but calls them out of the blue to ask them out, even invites a prostitute to his hotel room. He despises people who behave hypocritically, yet he himself says one thing, yet thinks the exact opposite, and rarely do his actions align with his beliefs. What do we make of Holden?
