Holden vs. Himself: In general, Holden has a difficult time dealing with everyday life due to his internal conflict. His thoughts almost seem to be working against him because he cannot cope with reality. Slowly, Holden is becoming less capable to function within society because his constant references to his childhood. Holden is not comfortable with the present; therefore referring to it negatively. In order to justify his own actions and "phoniness", Holden feels it necessary to accuse everyone and everything he comes across as being phony. By doing this, he is distracting himself from his own flaws. As a prisoner in his own mind, Holden is also becoming less capable to cope with life and the transition into adulthood. Holden vs. Society Holden is unable to relate to other characters in the novel. Phoebe seems to be the only person that Holden feels he can relate with, this may be because she is still young and has yet to enter the adult world. Holden wants to hold on to his childhood, yet he strives to fit in as part of what he perceives as the adult world (ordering drinks at the bar, attempting to start conversations about sex with Luce). He tries to shield the people he knows from the real world and encourages them to stay as they are and hold on to their innocence. He believes the [adult] world is full of "phonies".
