摘要

霍尔顿是塞林格扬名美国文坛的名作《麦田里的守望者》的小主人公，他可以称得上是代表当时美国青年的铸像。

诚然，个性鲜明的霍尔顿深深地震撼着一代代的读者。

霍尔顿的个性特征是本文分析的重点.主人公存在于矛盾对立的社会现实中。

“假模假样”是《麦田里的守望者》这部小说中的经典语言，同时也是主人公惯用的词语。

通过它足以把霍尔顿眼中世界的虚伪，丑恶诠释地淋漓尽致。

作为社会的反叛者，主人公在孤独，踌躇中苦苦挣扎。

叛逆的同时，他又对童年时光的纯真情有独钟,更重要的是他捍卫儿童心灵,守望美好的理想的形象更加发人深思。

本文立足于霍尔顿矛盾性格对立的视角,分析其个性特征中的两大层面。

一方面是透析他个性中的反叛性；

另一方面是解读他捍卫纯真,守望美好的崇高理想。

这篇论文通过对主人公个性特征深层次的解析，以求能帮助读者更好地理解霍尔顿这个经典形象，理解第二次世界大战后美国现实社会，以及作品蕴涵的深刻思想意义。
