To me, there are a couple of conflicts going on in these
chapters and they are really just the same conflicts that dominate the book as a whole.
I think there is an internal conflict within Holden and I think there is a conflict
between Holden and society.
All of the conflict that
appears to be between Holden and people in these chapters is really Holden vs. society
in my opinion. When he tries to talk to Faith, the women from Seattle, and the taxi
driver, he is trying to act in ways that he finds interesting. But the other people
don't really approve.
At the same time, it seems like
there's a conflict inside of Holden about whether he really rejects society or not.
Otherwise, why would he keep looking for these "phony" interactions instead of just
calling Jane?
