IDEA: ESCAPE

So instead of focussing solely on hermeticism (as I've discovered is the correct term, not 'hermitism'), I've decided to instead focus on the overarching theme of escape. It'll focus mostly on the idea of a mental escape, regardless of whether or not a physical escaping is involved. This will touch on the hermit, or at least, one side of hermeticism, as well as ideas in Catcher in the Rye, about a sort of social detachment; although Caulfield is surrounded by people, he still doesn't connect with anyone. I'm not entirely sure where I'm taking this.
