What are some classic works that have been misinterpreted

[LennoxCastaneda]

Sure! Here are three different takes on classic works that have been misinterpreted:

[KaydenceThornton]

. **"The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger**: A lot of people think this book is just about a rebellious teenager, but it’s actually a deep dive into themes of alienation and the struggles of growing up. Holden Caulfield's journey isn’t just about hating "phoniness"; it’s more about his fear of adulthood and losing innocence.

[EvieWatson]

. **"Moby-Dick" by Herman Melville**: Many folks see this as just a story about a whale, but it’s way more complex. It’s really a commentary on obsession, revenge, and humanity’s struggle against nature. Ahab’s hunt for the whale symbolizes the dangers of letting obsession consume you, which often gets overlooked.
