Chapter 11
in chapter 11 we learn many things about Holden's relationship with Jane. The reader learns of a deeper more loving side to Holden as he sadly reminisses the memories of a happier time of his life. When he describes this, the reader understands Holden's unhappiness about Jane's encounter with Stradlater, it is as though, in Holden's sad 'messy' life, Jane is the one person who truly makes Holden happy. Furthermore, again, Holden makes references to his family mentioning Pheobe. In essence this chapter shows us another side to Holden, one thats perhaps more 'normal', and a side in which he shows love, and most of all care, it could be argued Salinger is suggesting love is a certainty for every person regardless of their current situation.
