Not sure if anyone has ever posted a discussion like this, but do you think that Mr. Antolini is a creepy molestor, or just an affectionate teacher? I'm referring to the instance where Holden shows up to his house drunk, and Mr. Antolini lays him down and starts stroking his head. I think he's a creepo, but I'd love to hear some debate.

It just occurs to me now that you mentioned it. But I don't want to think of it that way, Catcher in the Rye has a sense of innocence on it and I want to keep it that way. :)

I was asking myself the same question. If not a molester then he must have been a very kind person which I doubt. Nothing was really the matter with Holden to worry so much.
