Holden Caufield: a latent homosexual? Yes, or no? Please

Just because he doesn't bang the whore? But he did banged his sister.

He talks about how he's been perved on by men since he was a kid. That thing leaves quite a mark. It would explain why he never bangs anyone.

>It would explain why he never bangs anyone.
But anon I'm older than him and I never banged anyone. There must be another reasons.

>He talks about how he's been perved on by men since he was a kid. That thing leaves quite a mark.
I agree, but never specifies the extension of the stuff that happened to him. And he can be fucked up in so many another ways, whithout being necessarily a fag.

He has the opportunity to bang plenty of girls. I assume he just can't get it up when he has the chance. The fact that he was probably molested "at least 20 times," as he said, has probably made him so deeply closeted he doesn't even realise. Quite a fucked up character.

Can you remember this exact passage?

>>9386506
I finished reading the book an hour ago, so it's fresh in my mind.

>>9386400
the book is from the 1950s. ZOG hadn't even implemented homosexuality yet

Post the quote

>>9386614
actually thats when it was most heavily underway
see: jean genet's short movie, gore vidal's books and documentaries like the homosexuals and that mondo one
OPEN UR EYES..

"When something perverty like that happens, I start sweating like a bastard. That kind of stuff's happened to me about twenty times since I was a kid. I can't stand it."

Don't you know that Salinger IS Jewish?

>>9386641
Seems more like an exaggeration, especially since he wasn't even molested during the scene you're referring to.

He doesn't bang the girl because to him having sex meant losing another part of his child-self, on a subconscious level of course. Childhood and coming of age are the central themes of the book.

No, the merry go round in the end is a symbol of innocence lost. Apathy and alienation crystallized, even if he had homosexual tendences and no indication shows whatsoever, he loves his sister and that's a symbol in itself. He didn't bang her.

Are you a 40 year old houswife?

Back to the kitchen
