Stanley's animalistic personality is revealed many times throughout the play. His brutal and violent behaviour is shown through the way he treats people, through the way characters describe him, they way he intents to hurt stella and bring his sister in-law to ruins. Stanley portrays himself as a caveman rather than a civil human being. His actions are also uncouth, the first time we see him in the play he is bringing his kill home from the super market. He also yells out meat when he yells out to his wife stella.

America in the 1930s was a world full of migrant workers and isolated individuals. In the novel we meet two characters that represent perfectly the theme of loneliness: Crooks and Curley’s wife. Crooks is the coloured stable-buck. He is isolated from the others because of his skin colour, “I ain’t wanted in the bunk house”, he feels like an outsider. The racial discrimination from the 1930s in America highly affects him, “ they play cards in there, but I can’t play because I’m black.
This is not an isolated situation, but a constant and recognizably unchanging event that was part of life for a black person during the 1950's. This kind of racism became such a common occurrence that soon the victims began to believe that the insults were true. Geraldine's family is an example of such hatred, as she shapes her life, family, and son to reject their heritage; the color of their skin and accept inferiority. Geraldine molds her son's views by telling him only to play with "White kids; his mother did not like him to play with niggers. She had explained to him the difference between colored people and niggers.
Holden Caulfield is "Fed up" Harrison CObb In his conversation with Sally on pages 130 to 134 of the novel "Catcher in the Rye" Holden clearly demonstrates that he is "Fed up". When first read, this conversation appears to be nothing more than the rants and raves of Holden as he spirals into his depression. Sally herself is even frightened by his demeanor as she keeps asking him to stop shouting. It's actually humorous when Holden hears her say this throughout the passage because his response is "…which was funny because i wasn't even shouting."(130). However, when these so called rants and raves of Holden are carefully read, it becomes clear that he is actually making some good points about what it is like to be a teenage boy who's future is laid out before him.

What we see in the short story is not racism, because Mrs. Wilson is just a women with and ignorance which makes her prejudiced. She has the most wrong way to judge people. She assumes that his father had to work hard in order to feed the family, and that he cannot work in the company with a high status. She connects every black people with poverty, and look at them as stereotypes. “After you my dear Alphonse” is written ironic because we hear Johnny say to Boyd “After you my dear Alphonse”, but Mrs. Wilson thinks that all black people are poor and underfed, so it should be Boyd, who say it to Johnny.
