- Often underrates himself. He is sure that he is fool; therefore he can’t achieve good results at school. - Don’t know what he wants. In every free minute he thinks about something, speculates, meditates, philosophises.

Phoebe Caulfield
- Holden’s only 10 years old sister, but she is very mature, sensible and wise. She reaches good results at school, not as her brother. - Likes her brother like he loves her.She is good itself,because she can sacrifice for Holden:
(„Phoebe, ty si tu fajčila? Povedz mi pravdu, slečna. -Prosím? -Nepočula si? -Na chvíľku som si zapálila. Spravila som jedno puf a potom som vyhodila cigaretu oknom. -Prečo, môžeš mi to láskavo prezradiť? -Keď som nemohla zaspať."PG:140)
(Holden smoked in her room,but she didn't want to disclose Holden.)

- A little head-strong.
- She is always trying to change Holden's mind in order to think more about his future life. Allie Caulfield
- Holden’s brother, currently dead. He died for leukaemia. - During his life he was very clever, skilful and spry boy. Holden liked also him very much and he psychically went through it really hardly. Mr. Antolini
- Holden’s teacher, one of small group of people, who Holden likes, because he respected him.
- Funny and very helpful and he try to advise Holden:
(„Zistíš, že nie si prvý, v kom ľudské konanie vyvoláva zmätok, hrôzu, ba hnus. V nijakom prípade nie si v tom sám, a toto vedomie ťa vzruší a povzbudí.“PG:145)

(„Nechcem ti nahovárať, že len vzdelanci a učenci môžu dať svetu niečo hodnotné. Nie je to tak. Ale tvrdím, že vzdelanci a učenci, ak majú navyše aj talent a tvorivú iskru, čo sa nanešťastie stáva zriedka, zanechávajú po sebe neporovnateľne hodnotnejšie záznamy ako ľudia, ktorí majú iba talent a tvorivú iskru. Vyjadrujú sa spravidla oveľa jasnejšie a vedia obyčajne vášnivo ísť za svojou myšlienkou až do konca.“PG:145)


Jane Gallagher
- Holden’s former girlfriend.
- She likes Holden, but she is interested mostly in herself, quite egoistic. Robert Ackley
- Holden’s neighbour at Pencey School. He wasn’t very popular, messy boy, dirty and unclear. - Eccentric, who enjoys irritating others with his disgusting behaviour. Conclusion:

In my personal opinion this novel is a lot original, but sometimes also rather weird. As far as main character is concerned, I didn’t like that his every second word was the same (I mean already mentioned “a tak” and others). I think that Holden was sometimes egoistic, sometimes neurotic and always buck passer.
