The postmodern world appears to be characterized by the ubiquitous existence of material objects as they have evidently transformed the modern society into a materialized one. The unfulfilled pursuit of personal gratification, comfort, and social aspiration has led people to over-consume. This article explores the intricacies of consumer culture in J.D. Salinger’s, The Catcher in the Rye (1951). Set in 1950s America, the novel provides a satirical depiction of the protagonist's self-discovery journey amidst the chaos of a consumer-driven society. This paper aims to demonstrate that The Catcher in the Rye presents a critique of the American consumer society and its effects on the characters’ identity and psyche. |
