evidence
“In both cases what amuses the innocence with which the respective protagonist tried to put on a good face on what we as readers recon to be embarrassing moments. at the same time
, however
, even sophisticated readers remember similar episodes from their own lives and rather then censure Huck or Holden, they are likely to be sympathetic and forgiving.”
“Huck
and
H
olden
share a condition of being protagonist in death haunted novels
”
“Hardly a page of either book is sparred the taint of mortality, whether it expresses itself in the chivalric rhetoric of the
Grangerfords
or on Holden’s exam essay on the Egyptian mummies, in the grizzly specter of Buck or in the haunting memories of Allie”Slide7
More evidence
“Besides obsession with death, Huck and Holden also share in the loneliness that stems inextricably from there respective broodings and that is built into there retrospective narratives. Often in comparable novels like
Moby-Dick,
only Ishmael, a novel’s protagonist narrator, escapes to tell his tale. In other cases like Nick
Carraway
in
The Great Gats-dog,
the protagonist narrators experiences have been so traumatic, so fundamentally altering, that they no longer ‘see’ the world as others do”
“
The Catcher in the Rye
then fairly aches to be read as an urban twentieth century variant of
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
, those readers who saw Twain’s Mississippi on Manhattan were not essentially wrong. The protagonist narrators of both novels filter experience through there respective sensibilities, make bids for our undivided attention, and, in affect, do what they can to walk off with the whole show.”Slide8
