Which literary work features the character Catcher in the Rye?

The character referenced in the question is specifically associated with "The Catcher in the Rye," a novel by J.D. Salinger. This work centers around the protagonist, Holden Caulfield, who grapples with themes of adolescence, alienation, and the loss of innocence. The title itself is a metaphor for Holden's desire to protect children from the harsh realities of adulthood, symbolizing his wish to be the "catcher" who saves them from falling into a moral and emotional abyss.

The other options represent different literary works that do not feature this character or central theme. For instance, "Brave New World" explores themes of technology and conformity, "The Bell Jar" deals with mental illness and identity, and "The Road" focuses on survival in a post-apocalyptic setting. None of these novels includes the concept of a "catcher" or the specific narrative and character dynamics found in Salinger's work.
