Fitzgerald and Salinger: An Analysis of the Influence of Society on Behavior This four page undergraduate paper examines how society influences behavior in the novels, The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. The author discusses how Holden Caulfield is driven crazy by phoniness, snobbery, and unfairness, and how society has influenced him to become an alienated loner. He also notes how in The Great Gatsby, all of the characters demonstrate the destructive influence of society on behavior, for Gatsby, Nick, Myrtle, Daisy, Tom, and George all engage in activities that are immoral and unappealing.
