In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden views the world as an evil and corrupt place where there is no peace. This perception of the world does not change significantly through the novel. However as the novel progresses, Holden gradually comes to the realization that he is powerless to change this.

As Holden himself says, "It's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out. "The sun of course is a reference to...
