Holden Caulfield is a hypocrite because he spends practically the whole book ranting about people who are "phony" and who "just kill him" because of their behavior, but yet he himself does not live on completely who he is and instead lets himself be molded by his surroundings. He hides his insightful opinions and indulges in behaviors such as drinking, smoking and whoring, though he claims that he does not think much of it. He flits back and forth from one feeling to another. For example, on his date his Sally Hayes, he goes from loving her to hating her in a matter of minutes. Though he claims his feelings were felt truly at the time, his inability to think logically about his actions and feelings shows that he still holds some immaturity and is terribly confused.
