.... A perfect example for a use of irony is seen in the description of the psychologist of the main character, Lenora. “After all, she was just a psychologist. God ! She wasn’t ! Apart from Pandora [his infatuated love] she was probably the loveliest woman I have ever spoken to.

After a brief stay in Florence, whe ....

.... manifestations of conformity (Corbett 71). Throughout The Catcher in the Rye, Holden describes and interacts with various members of his family. The way he talks about or to each gives you some idea of whether he thinks they are "phony" or normal. A few of his accounts make it more obvious than others to discover how he classifies each family member. From the very first page of the novel, Holden begins to refer to his parents as distant and generalizes both his father and mother frequently throughout his chronicle. One example is: "…my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything ....
