Une tendance croissante dans la littérature, à l'écran et sur scène s'est déplacée pour produire des protagonistes humains plus imparfaits. Des parangons de vertu qui sont courageux, capables et qui font toujours ce qu'il faut. Au lieu de ces héros inspirants, de nombreuses œuvres présentent un archétype complémentaire : l'anti-héros.
JD Salinger a décrit The Catcher in the Rye comme un roman sur "l'aliénation d'un individu dans un monde sans cœur". Engagez les élèves à découvrir le parcours de Holden Caulfield avec nos activités et storyboards prédéfinis !
