Una tendenza crescente nella letteratura, sullo schermo e sul palcoscenico si è spostata per produrre protagonisti umani più imperfetti. Esempi di virtù che sono coraggiosi, capaci e che fanno sempre la cosa giusta. Al posto di questi eroi ispiratori, molte opere presentano un archetipo complementare: l'antieroe.
JD Salinger ha descritto The Catcher in the Rye come un romanzo sull'"alienazione di un individuo in un mondo senza cuore". Coinvolgi gli studenti mentre apprendono il viaggio di Holden Caulfield con le nostre attività e storyboard predefiniti!
