The protagonist Holden Caulfield is liberated from his warped personality and finally begins to realize his aversion of the grown-up life that change is inevitable and always accompanied by a sense of loss. Not accepting the changes in the surroundings and his actions makes him immature and not a trusted narrator. Avoiding issues by not facing them in the first place makes him being followed by disappointment constantly.

Instead of repairing the wounds and flesh he moves on like nothing happened the entire book until we find him in the psychiatric hospital as an entire breakdown.

However, it is important to conquer fear of change by realizing it is inevitable, allowing one to develop and lead a

Also, the story of the past could lead to the end of the story that can be interpreted like a prediction of the direction of their relationship in the future. Do you see the connection of time in the story? Nam and Ba give an importance toward “the past” differently. Nam ties himself up with the past, and he allows it to impact and control his life. He doesn’t learn to live with it and move forward, but he chooses to be stuck in it.
