"The catcher in the rye" symbolizes who Holden wants to be. As he describes it to Pheobe, he wants to be someone who catches kids, who are playing in a field of rye, from falling off a cliff. This symbolizes that Holden wants to keep kids in their innocence and prevent them from having to deal with maturity and the pains that follow it. This in turn shows that Holden can't deal with growing up.
