I am a bibliophile and a bookworm and have no bookclub to join, therefore I thought I would start one with the world! :) In this podcast I will be discussing literature and will do a deep dive analysis of each and every page. This podcast is for anyone who truly loves to discuss books, to explore its themes, characters, its life philosophies, and wants to learn as much as possible, not only about the book, but about the human experience as well. Join me as I discuss my favorite works from literature. I hope you enjoy the podcast lectures and discussions.

The Catcher in the Rye Lecture #7 (Chapter 2 - Part 5) Detailed Book Analysis and In-Depth Discussion

In this lecture we are continuing to analyze, discuss and explore chapter 2 of J.D. Salinger’s famed and beloved masterpiece, The Catcher in the Rye. In this lecture we examine the psychology and character traits that Mr. Spencer and Holden possess through their interaction with one another. We rely on Holden’s description of the experience, and his description of Old Spencer, and his thoughts on him, in order to form a picture of this character and his relation to Holden. Furthermore, we get to observe how Holden participates in the phoniness of society which he despises, perhaps without his own conscious perception. The indoctrination into society is so subtle, that one typically fails to perceive when they are acting out the proper expected duties and behaviors that they were taught, it is automatic, practically an impulse, like we read in this chapter regarding Holden’s actions. Additionally, Holden displays his uncertainty about his future.

The Catcher in The Rye, like many others, is one of my favorite novels, and by far my favorite coming of age novel. We get the opportunity to analyze Holden Caulfield, explore his psychology, his experiences, and his unique hero’s journey which then allows us to understand ourselves even better. Throughout the lecture I will try to show similarities between what Holden is going through and what we go through in our lives through a detailed analysis of the story, recounting numerous personal anecdotes, and mentioning life experiences that we all share and can relate to. Tune in or feel free to watch the lecture series on YouTube as well.
