Holden is so melodramatic it’s hilarious, though I can’t say I agree that he would’ve killed John Lennon, sorry John Lennon’s murderer

I had to read this for English and it felt similar to Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds. Holden and Coriolanus have very similar psychological damage that you can only feel bad for them. You can tell Holden is so desperate for love and affection from anyone but keeps failing at his relationships.
