J. D. Salinger has written some of the best fiction of our time. In the two decades which constitute Salinger's professional career he has published one novel, three novellettes, and some thirty short stories. This fair-sized body of works may be classified into four "periods":the early tentative efforts, up to the Inverted Forest, 1947; the five stories which appeared in The New Yorker and were later included in the collection, Nine Stories, 1953; The Catcher in the Rye, 1951; and finally the more recent narratives, Franny and Zooey, 1961, which expresses the Glass family's redemption based on the religious bent in conformity with the fetishism.
However, in this dissertation for a docterate degree in literature, the author would like mainly to center his focus on a comparative study of the human figure toward Salinger's protagonist, Holden Caulfield and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, who constitute the myth of American youth in American literature.
A great emphasis and a brisk discussion for the study of Salinger's work, especially for The Catcher in the Rye, has been aroused among the scholars and the literary critics in American literary circles with a result of accelerating a comparative study of the human figure in Salinger's protagonist, Holden Caulfield, and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. Both novels have a similar pattern in surface and in its structure of a picaresque story originated from Cervantes' Don Quixote, which constitutes an adventure story, an extended prose narrative dealing with characters within the framework of a plot. Such a work is usually fictitious, but both characters and situations or events may be drawn from real life.
Frankly speaking, it has so far been a general tendency in the academic field that so far as a comparative study on Huck's and Holden's human figure is concerned, a great controversial discussion has been aroused among scholars and critics on the ground that the two protagonists' human figure has a similar pattern or a dissimilar pattern in their initiation into the adult world. It is however the author's awareness that in spite of their argument on the theme, it seems to be no definite agreement and definition among them. In this view of the disputable stage of the argument, the author has determined to assemble the articles, papers and bookreviews concerned with the themes so that he may classify and define the patterns of two protagonists' human figure by analyzing the literary themes, the type of their journey, their journey circumstances in time and space, and the aspects of their personality and human psyche.
It is however an interesting discovery that three dvisions-----the similar pattern, the partially dissimilar pattern, and the totally dissimilar pattern-----have been classified in the process of analyzing the articles and other sources. The author has determined to designate them as (1) the totally similar pattern, (2) the partially dissimilar pattern, and (3) the totally dissimilar pattern. Following is a brief explanation of these divisions.
(1) The totally similar pattern theory realizes the fact that the human figure of both protagonists are similar not only in their personality but also in their protest against the plight of social norm and of the currupt adult-world for protecting the innocence of human beings in American society. This approach has been based upon "A Study in the Traditional Continuity in American Literature" by Charles Kaplan, Edgar Branch, Heiserman and Miller.
(2) The partially dissimilar pattern theory maintains that the two protagonists' human figure is partially similar except for the large portion of the dissimilarity both in their mental situation and in their sensibility. Gwynn and Blotner, Robert G. Jacobs, and Donald Barr are those who deny the above similar pattern with the views of their peculiar image-making toward the two protagonists.
(3) The totally dissimilar pattern theorists reject the above two theories, manifesting a completely new image over Holden of the modern American youth with a different mental plight and situation and so on. John W. Aldridge, Ihab Hassan, and Arvine R. Wells are those who deny the above two theories, patternizing Holden as a youth of radical innocence, or an American myth of rebel-victim.
In examining these three theories, the author has decided to neglect the first and second theories that are the totally similar pattern and the partially dissimilar pattern, and to maintain the third theory, the totally dissimilar pattern with a slightly expanded revision or an additional supplement to the theory.
Judging from the human figure comparison between two protagonists, Huck has a river, a maternal symbol in his natural environment for his freedom journey, and Negro Jim, a father image, and a refuge to the West. However, nothing has Holden in the admist of corrupted urban circumstances, only with a severe mental sickness and suffering stemmed from his brother Allie's death which causes him a serious mental breakdown from the beginning in the novel and escaping in his imagination to a cabin in the woods somewhere in West. And there Holden may lead his hermit life in his imagination along the line of Zen Buddhism.
As was patternized by many critics as the Stephen Dedalus Type as well as the Leopold Bloom Type in James Joyce's novel, A Protrait of the Artist as a Young Man, it is true that unlike Huck who is patternized as Stephen Dedalus, Holden has ,a quest in duality in the beginning of his journey along with his child-father cycle of initiation into society, but at the end of the novel, he stands against the corrupt adult world with a function of 'the intellect protest' so that he may remain in the child-like innocent world for his refuge, a cabin in the woods in West. Considering this spiritual refuge in West, this can be contrasted to a Buddhist temple in the woods in the Orient that parallels with the Walden Type of quest, a new type discovered by the author.
Therefore Huck is not a modern victim in American society with a promising-redemption, but Holden is a modern figure of American tragedy and rebel-victem-----an identity of radical innocence in the contemporary American literature.
