Painting

This painting by Frida Kahlo entitled “The Two Frida's” represents Holden Caulfield well because it shows two sides of the same person. The Frida seen on the left is very violent and is seen cutting herself and bleeding onto her dress. However, the white represents the purity of the Frida on the left. On the other hand the Frida on the right is very not violent and looks put together. Holden also has various sides such as his un-happy, lonesome, crying, side that is seen throughout the novel including when he leaves, Pencey and when Maurice comes into his room and his happy care-free side which is seen predominantly when he talks about Phoebe. The major discrepancy between this painting and Holden is that the two Frida's are holding hands, representing that the real Frida has found the perfect harmony between the two, whereas Holden is still searching to find that.
