The speaker is trapped in desire and cannot find his way out. He then goes and compares desire to a "...fool's self-chosen snare..." illustrating that desire is an act of foolishness, in continuation he accuses desire to be a "...web of will..." which is a difficulty brought by men upon themselves. He continues to use repetition on specific sets of words to emphasize his negative impact with desire.

The speaker demonstrates desire to be a trap that you won't ever be able to escape.
Whereas, the main character of TLNOTW is quite content about life, considerate, and patient. Even through the inevitable thought that the world is going to end, he remains calm, and goes about his normal everyday life, as if it's never going to occur.

Another obviously different quality between the two characters, is their speech. Like his personality, the main character of TLNOTW's voice is very calm and pleasant; he never once raised his voice in concern of the worlds end.
In the novel, The Catcher in The Rye, the protagonist Holden Caufield seems to be excluded from and victimized by the world around him. As he says to his professor Mr. Spencer, he feels trapped on “the other side” of life, and he continually attempts to find his way in a world in which he feels he doesn’t belong. This alienation is both the source of Holden’s strength and the source of his problems. Part of Holden’s alienation is a result of his inability, or perhaps unwillingness, to grow up. Like a child, Holden fears change and is overwhelmed by complexity, but he is too out of touch with his feelings to admit it.

He’s a humble guy. And as it slips out, his head grows bigger.” Arthur Jones doesn’t dispute it. Whatever, he shrugs. Darn right he’s proud, just as he and his wife should be. Not everything has been perfect for this family, far from it actually.
It is a fact that history confirms that no great achievements in individual lives and with societies occur without some struggle. For, only a dull complacency exists in people who have no conflict. LeGuin's short story, "The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas" explores this very idea; in this story of a utopia of sorts, all the people but one are happy; they have been happy for so long that "smiles have become archaic." However, there is a dullness to their lives and an evasion of the reality of the existence of one who must suffer for the rest.
