A Perfect Day for Bananafish :: Perfect Day Bananafish

A Perfect Day for Bananafish       Picture walking into a hotel board  and finding a  man dead on a bed.  Upon  surrounding(prenominal) inspection it becomes obvious that he has supposedly taken his own bearing with the gun that lay beside him.  In  talking to his wife who was asleep on the bed next to him when this incident occurred, it is learned that he just walked in the door and shot  himself late the previous night.  Out of the many questions that could be asked from this story, I believe that it is probably extremely important to consider wherefore  the main character, Seymour Glass, decided to commit suicide.             What I believe to be the moderateness for Seymours suicide has two basic components the spiritual depravity of the human being around him, and his struggle with his own spiritual shortcomings. The spiritual problem of the immaterial world is mostly a m atter of material greed, especially in the west, and materialism.  On the other hand, his own spiritual problem is more a matter of intellectual greed and true spiritualism.             In addressing the suicide, the difference should be distinguished between the meet More Glass that we see by means of little Sybils eyes, and the Seymour Glass that we see through the eyes of  the openhanded world.  Even though these two characters are in theory the equivalent man, they are slightly different in some ways. You could also evidence that they are the same character in different stages of development. Whatever the discipline may be, the reasons for the suicide shift slightly in emphasis as the character changes.             A Perfect Day for Bananafish attempts to symbolize that the bananas in  See More Glasss story represent all of the things which are taken in along the jou rney to adulthood.  If pursued with too more zeal, these bananas can prevent spiritual development and lead to a greater materialistic development.  See-More has realized that he can non get rid of enough bananas to sterilise any further spiritual progress in this life, so, rather than use time, he commits suicide.  This is slightly obvious when he is taking the elevator dorsum  up to his room on the night of the suicide.  His fixation upon his feet, which do not resemble the childlike feet that he desires to have, and the woman in the elevators scorn towards Seymours accusing her of staring at his feet, drive him to disfavour the adult world even more.
