Hooking Up With Holden Exploring Sexuality in The Catcher in the Rye - Literature Essay Samples
ââ¬Å"Sex is something I just dont understand. I swear to God I dont,â⬠(Salinger, 63). It might take Holden Caulfield nine chapters to admit to this, but his sexual confusion is present from the first pages of J.D. Salingerââ¬â¢s famous novel The Catcher in The Rye. Stemming from the dichotomy of sexual openness in America, underlined by an immense sensitivity, and sprinkled with teenage confusion, Holdenââ¬â¢s relationship with his sexuality is a turbulent one. Holden experiences a constant string of emotions concerning sexuality, spanning from excitement to guilt. All of these emotions are difficult, and are a pressing internal struggle for Holden. Holden Caulfieldââ¬â¢s disconnection from his sexuality is a notable contributor to his social difficulties.Certainly the broadest cause of sexual issues in The Catcher in The Rye is Holdenââ¬â¢s relationship to societal sexual expectations. America during this time features contrasting beliefs surrounding sex. For the older generation, which includes Holdenââ¬â¢s distant parents, ââ¬Å"most sex in America had been forced into the closet. Even masturbation was despised and thought to be the source of many physical and psychological ills. The only officially endorsed sexual behavior was monogamous heterosexual marriage,â⬠(Ferguson, 2). Only private, vanilla-no-sprinkles-please sex was acceptable, and even this ultrabland intercourse was never spoken about. In a predictable reaction to this uptight sexual culture, the younger generation rebelled and embraced sex, which later partially motivated the sexual revolution. We see this open sexual excitement in Holdenââ¬â¢s private school, Pencey Prep. Holden tells his reader that at Pencey ââ¬Å"all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day,â⬠(Salinger, 131). While all of Holdenââ¬â¢s friends are making out with girls, and then vividly retelling stories about said making out sessions, Holden canââ¬â¢t quite assimilat e into that culture. A part of Holden does experience sexual excitement; he goes on dates regularly, comments on girlââ¬â¢s appearances, and is jealous of his roommate Stradlaterââ¬â¢s sexually adventurous ways (Salinger, 43). But there is also an equally strong part of Holden that wants sex to be intimate and incredibly personal. Both perspectives are showcased as Holden reflects on an usual sexual scene observed outside his hotel room window; ââ¬Å"I can even see how it might be quite a lot of fun, in a crumby way, and if you were both sort of drunk and all, to get a girl and squirt water or something all over each others face. The thing is, though, I dont like the idea. It stinks, if you analyze it,â⬠(Salinger, 62). On one hand Holden is excited, and at times overwhelmed, by sex. On the other, he is upset by and quietly sensitive to sexual energy. Holden is clearly confused about where he lands between these two opposing ends of the spectrum. Society is sending mixed signals to all young adults, and Holden is a prime example of the confusion that can ensue.The Catcher in The Rye is commonly known for its exploration of growing into adulthood, and the inevitable loss of innocence. Eero Helenius connects innocence and sexuality well- ââ¬Å"With regard to sex and sexuality, then, Holden is primarily concerned with protecting the innocence of those ââ¬â girls, in specific ââ¬â yet untainted by its ever-pervasive influence,â⬠(Helenius, 25). The themes of innocence and adulthood are closely related to, and supported by, a number of sexual examples. The clearest example of innocence lost to sex is found as Holden orders a prostitute to his hotel room. Immediately after confirming his room number with the elevator boy turned pimp, Holden starts to regret his decision (Salinger, 91). When the prostitute arrives, Holden is turned off by her childish appearance, noting that she ââ¬Å"() was young as hell,â⬠(Salinger, 94). The prostit ute, who goes by Sunny, enters wearing a green dress and quickly takes it off. Holdenââ¬â¢s obsession with innocence is clear as he reflects on this dress- ââ¬Å"I took her dress over to the closet and hung it up for her. It was funny. It made me feel sort of sad when I hung it [the green dress] up for her. I thought of her going into a store and buying it, and nobody in the store knowing she was a prostitute and all. The salesman probably just thought she was a regular girl when she bought it. It made me feel sad as hell- I donââ¬â¢t know why exactly,â⬠(Salinger, 95). Despite his lack of emotional intelligence, Holden expresses a deep pain in reaction to this innocent dress being used for prostitution. Holden may not know why heââ¬â¢s so sad about this dress, but readers do; witnessing an apparently regular, young girl turn to the impersonal world of sex work is heartbreaking for our innocence-obsessed narrator. Holdenââ¬â¢s pained relationship with sexual innoce nce is also present, and even more personal, in his childhood friend and love interest Jane Gallagher. To Holden, Jane represents tender childhood memories and youthful beauty. Holden tells a story of when Jane and he are playing checkers, making a special note of how Jane keeps all of her kings in the back row through the game. This is of course a terrible strategy, but she ââ¬Å" () liked the way they looked (),â⬠(Salinger, 32). Much in the same way Holden has unrealistic but comforting tendencies, Jane puts the innocent desire of aesthetics above the adult goal of winning the game. Jane has a history of sexual adulteration, namely her ââ¬Å"boozehoundâ⬠father-in-law walking around their house naked. Janeââ¬â¢s father-in-law, a blatant symbol of harsh adult life, interrupts their checkers game to ask if they have any cigarettes, but Jane cannot meet his eye and begins to silently cry. (Salinger, 78). This exchange serves as evidence that Jane has been sexually a bused by her father-in-law. Holden tries to comfort her, but lacks the proper communication skills. This tragic example of sexual adulteration sets the stage for another Jane-related pain for Holden. Stradlater, Holdenââ¬â¢s super-sexual roommate, goes on a date with Jane. Holden, and readers, infer that Stradlater and Jane have sex, which is heartbreaking to Holden. Holden desperately tries to bring innocence back to the situation by asking Stradlater about Janeââ¬â¢s delicate back row of checkers, to no avail. As Eero Helenius puts it ââ¬Å"Stradlater does not ââ¬Ëeven care if a girl kept all her kings in the back rowââ¬â¢ (Salinger, 43), a detail about Janeââ¬â¢s character that means everything to Holden but nothing to Stradlater,â⬠(Helenius, 24). This loss of sexual innocence is experienced as death for Holden: death of childhood, death of beauty, death of general innocence. Peter Shaw expands on this abstract death, writing that there are two parts of teen aged psychological development (Shaw, 101). The first is mourning death of innocence, and the second is experiencing love. According to Shaw, ââ¬Å"If Holden is unable to move on from mourning [the death of innocence], he is equally unable to to commence the being-in-love portion of his maturation process. He is suffering through () ââ¬Ëthe prime danger of this ageââ¬â¢: an excessively prolonged ââ¬Ëmoratoriumââ¬â¢ on growing up.â⬠Jane Gallagher stands as a beacon of youthful innocence throughout The Catcher in The Rye, and the combination of her father-in-law and Stradlaterââ¬â¢s inconsiderate treatment of her are incredibly painful for Holden, holding him back from a more adult mindset. Holden Caulfield is famous for his hypocrisy. And concerning sexuality, Holdenââ¬â¢s hypocritical ways do not falter. Holden tells us ââ¬Å"In my mind Iââ¬â¢m probably the biggest sex maniac you ever saw,â⬠(Salinger, 62). However, only a few lines later, Holden also tells us that he feels guilty and dirty when he has sexual fantasies. Despite being interested and excited by sex, Holden does not take any legitimate actions towards have sex. And eventually, it is revealed that Holden has not yet had sex at all. ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢m a virgin. I really am. Iââ¬â¢ve had quite a few opportunities to lose my virginity and all, but Iââ¬â¢ve never got around to it. Something always happens,â⬠(Salinger, 92). That certainly doesnââ¬â¢t sound like the ââ¬Å"sex maniacâ⬠Holden had just described himself as. Holdenââ¬â¢s sexual hypocrisy extends onto others too. As Holden dances with a few girls at a club, he comments on how dumb and simple-minded they are. However, he also notes how one ââ¬Å"() when she turned around, her pretty little butt twitched so nice,â⬠(Salinger, 73). Despite criticizing girl for not being intelligent enough, he also finds her attractive and tries to get the three girls to stay out with him. Holden experiences sexual excitement, but hypocritically fails to take the actions that would lead to intercourse. Holden Caulfieldââ¬â¢s hypocrisy extends into the world of sexual fetishes, which he holds a restrained interested in. Although Holden again takes no actions to explore his fetishes, he clearly holds interest in certain socially divergent sexual practices. The first of these is a sexual interest in older women. This fetish arises as Holden flees from Pencey Prep to New York City. On his train to New York, Holden encounters Mrs. Morrow, the mother of Holdenââ¬â¢s classmate Ernest Morrow. Holden tells us ââ¬Å"She was about forty or forty-five, I guess, but she was very good looking,â⬠(Salinger, 54). Holden is approximately sixteen during this interaction, placing Mrs. Morrow at nearly three times his age. Some social constraint is present in his language- Holden says ââ¬Å"but sheââ¬â¢s very good looking.â⬠She is old but good looking; the word ââ¬Å"but â⬠characterizes her attractiveness unexpected, unusual. We can assume that if Holden was admiring a girl his own age, he would say ââ¬Å"She is 16 years old and very good looking,â⬠as a young girlââ¬â¢s attractiveness is far more accepted. The decision for Holden to write ââ¬Å"but sheââ¬â¢s very good looking,â⬠shows that he knows she should not be considered attractive to him. As Holden settles into his hotel room, he reveals more of his atypical sexual interests. Just outside the window, Holden silently observes as two scenes unfold in a hotel next to his. The first is a grey-haired business man who adds a full outfit of womenââ¬â¢s clothing, including silk stockings, heels, a bra, and even a corset. In the adjacent window, Holden observes a male-female couple spitting water on each others faces. Holden finds a special interest in this couple, writing ââ¬Å"The trouble was that kind of junk is sort of fascinating to watch, even if you donââ¬â¢t wan t it to be,â⬠(Salinger, 61). There is shame in Holdenââ¬â¢s fetish interest; Holden describes his fascination as ââ¬Å"troubleâ⬠, and openly states that he doesnââ¬â¢t want to be interested in it. Again we see hypocritical behavior, this time in a more explicit sexual manner. An interesting facet of Holdenââ¬â¢s sexual disconnection is the possibility of homosexuality. The homosexual nods in The Catcher in The Rye are more subtle than the heterosexual ones, but are relevant nonetheless. The possibility of homosexuality would certainly contribute to Holdenââ¬â¢s immense sexual confusion and disparity. The first, and most subtle, suggestion of homosexuality in Holden arises as he watches Stradlater walk to the bathroom- ââ¬Å"He went out of the room with his toilet kit and towel under his arm. No shirt on or anything. He always walked around in his bare torso because he thought he had a damn good build. He did, too. I have to admit it,â⬠(Salinger, 26). Again, some shame is present in his voice; he has to admit that he thinks Stradlater is well-built. The next nod towards homosexuality is Holdenââ¬â¢s use of the word ââ¬Å"flitâ⬠. The term was used as a derogatory term for queer and queer-appearing men during mid 20th century, and has since faded in popularity. Holden uses the term with a hateful tone to describe two men he spots at the end of a bar. Despite providing no basis for their homosexuality, Holden aggressively assumes their sexuality (Salinger, 142). During his meeting with Carl Luce, an old classmate notorious for sexual knowledge, Holden remarks that Luce knows ââ¬Å"who every flit and lesbian in the United States was. All you had to do was mention somebody- anybody- and old Luceââ¬â¢d tell you if he was a flit or not,â⬠(Salinger, 143) Holden then expresses an irrational fear that he himself would ââ¬Å"turn into a flit or something.â⬠A secretive interest with the alternative lifestyle of homosexuality was normal for American culture at this time, but Holdenââ¬â¢s language shows a more emotionally charged reaction than interest. His fear of one day waking up a gay man reveals a deeper connection to homosexuality, or at the least bisexuality. We also see that Holdenââ¬â¢s disconnection from his clearly homosexual interests creates an off-putting judgement of queer people, in particular other men. Fear of homosexuality arises, even more pronounced, when Holden stays with his old teacher Mr. Antolini. Mr. Antolini is welcoming of Holden, offering him a place to sleep in his apartment when Holden is in need. Holden falls asleep on Mr. Antoliniââ¬â¢s couch, and awakens to Mr. Antolini petting his head. Mr. Antolini had been drinking heavily, blurring his sense of what is socially appropriate. The move is not entirely homoerotic; it could also be described as fatherly, concerned, or just drunken. But, keeping in mind that Holden is wearing only his underwear, and that Mr. Antolini had just told Holden ââ¬Å"Goodnight, handsome,â⬠, the interaction is undeniably homosexual to some extent (Salinger, 192). Holden flees the apartment, startled and upset by the move. Holdenââ¬â¢s immense fear of a homosexual encounter with Mr. Antolini prevents him from seeing any of the fatherly, caring motivations that Mr. Antolini probably held. The act certainly is inappropriate according to American social norms. However, if Holden was more in touch with his homosexual interests and desires, his reaction would not have been so intensely negative. He still would have been startled, but perhaps later would have at least considered the kind, concerned motivations Mr. Antolini certainly held. Here Holdenââ¬â¢s judgement of queerness cuts short any chance of a beneficial relationship with Mr. Antolini. All of these sexual tensions, misunderstandings, and disconnections lead to a very sexually confused Holden Caulfield. His confusion and disconnect ion lead to a number of socially inhibiting tendencies. The most clearly noted would be his infamous judgemental attitude. Holden constantly judges others, a habit frequently associated with insecurity. Another component of his social troubles is his rage, certainly fueled by judgmentalism. For example- in the beginning of the novel, before readers are acquainted with Holden and his lack of self-awareness, Holden enters a rageful fit, physically assaulting Stradlater (Salinger, 43).Holdenââ¬â¢s rage, unsafe and juvenile, is triggered entirely by the thought of innocence lost to sexual intercourse. The move feels childish, both in its emotional immaturity and in Holdenââ¬â¢s obvious physical disadvantage against the stronger, bigger Stradlater. This brings us to Holdenââ¬â¢s last inhibiting trait; masochism. Before Stradlater and Jane go out, Jane is waiting outside of Holdenââ¬â¢s dorm room. Jane- the lovely, kind, delicate character Holden adores- is alone, waiting just outside Holdenââ¬â¢s dorm. Holden does not even step outside his dorm room, let alone go downstairs to speak with his childhood favorite. He then repeatedly contemplates calling her once hes in New York, but cant bring himself to go through with it. Holdens inability to reach out to Jane despite his feelings is a prime example of his passivity and indecision. Despite having the opportunity to speak with Jane, Holden cuts himself off from this social interaction. The same goes for the previously explored fetishes Holden holds. Heââ¬â¢s interested, excited, by sexual adventure. But he again cuts himself off from exploring these sexual activities that would bring him joy. Holdenââ¬â¢s mixed drink, one part rage to two parts self-restriction, intoxicates him throughout the novel, leading directly to his depression. The narrative of The Catcher in The Rye occurs as Holden is experiencing peak sexual confusion. Readers witness Holden exploring intrigue, guilt, and discomfort. Al l of these are perfectly healthy during sexual development, but make emotional life quite difficult. Most readers of The Catcher in The Rye are just as young and impressionable as Holden is, making it important to analyze his developments. Holden is an angry, judgemental, and self-inhibiting character. These traits are not without good reason; Holden is lost not only in social identity formation, but in finding his sexual identity as well. Works Cited Ferguson, Michael. ââ¬Å"Book Reviewâ⬠.

Inclusion of Queers in Professional Sports - 651 Words
The marginalization that queer people face in America has, throughout history, limited their ability to feel comfortable and participate in professional sports. Players and personnel tend to lean towards their homophobia and question if they will be subjected to ââ¬Å"stare downsâ⬠in the locker room instead of questioning the skills of a player who is gay. Sports, like football, believe the institution is not ready for openly gay player because of various reasons; but this is just hidden bigotry behind fancy words. To break down this discriminatory barrier, there needs to be a change in the definition of masculinity in sports. The boundaries of manhood are forever changing in America and it should not be limited to only heterosexuals. Players who come out after retirement have helped to break down the barriers queer men and women face. Their presence has proven that queer athletes are as skilled, abled, and successful as straight athletes. However, queer youth still need more role models that are active in their sports. This lets them know that it is possible for gay and straight players are able to co-exist within professional sports. The recognition and participation of out gay athletes matter towards cultural and social issues within the 21st century.
