In J.D. Salinger's novel "The Catcher in the Rye," Lillian Simmons is a former girlfriend of the protagonist Holden Caulfield's older brother, D.B. Holden describes her as a phony and insincere person who is more interested in social status than genuine connections. Lillian represents Holden's disillusionment with the adult world and his struggle to find authenticity in a superficial society.
