IDEA

Just earlier I was reading the Wikipedia article on Catcher in the Rye in an attempt to find any related books, so that I could find more portrayals of social isolation. When I read the vague synopsis of 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath, an idea on isolation that I had not previously considered was brought up: mental illness. I know this should've come up when I read Catcher, but for some reason, it didn't. I'm not sure if I'll take up the idea of mental illness, but I thought it'd be good to note down.
