It's a very meaningful and beautiful title about childhood and innocence.
Holden Caulfield, our protagonist, is attempting to grasp onto his childhood. He has a lot of trauma, feeling distant from his parents and older brother and being extremely sorrowful and heartbroken from the loss of his younger brother, Allie, who passed away from a disease.
There is a poem that Holden feels connected to. In it, the Catcher is like a shepherd, protecting the innocent children running and playing around in a rye field. Holden mentions this to his younger sister, Phoebe, and he says that he wants to be the Catcher in the Rye. So, in short, he values childhood and innocence greatly. It's beautiful.
I like to think that Holden has a good life. He most likely gets a career in child protective services because he feels so attached to his childhood and thinks it's the best phase of life. As a young teenager myself, it's a gorgeous book and meaning that will stick with me forever. Adulthood and the future, it's a little worrying. I just need to accept that. It's sad, in a way, but it's a part of life.
