- This is an analysis of J. D. Salinger's short story "A Perfect Day for Banana Fish." This is a personal analysis, so whether it's accurate or not is up for debate.
(If you were looking for an analysis of "Banana Fish" the anime, then I'm sorry but I haven't watched it yet and therefore can't analyze it. You guys can go watch one on Gigguk or Mother's Basement's Channel)

A few things :
Sybil 'mother knows and doesn't mind that her girl will run to "Mr. Glass."
The episode in the elevator when he gets upset by a lady sneakingly staring at his feet suggests that his feet are mutilated. That's why he kisses beautiful innocent little girls' feet .
Sybil yellow swim suit is in direct opposite of blue that he is wearing.
(Innocence opposite to an injured war veteran)..
Then, of course, sun of the resort, sunburned skin of his wife, mother applying sun cream (to get more tan sun tan!) - in direct constrast to Seymour very pale skin.. Sun here as a symbol of materististic enjoyment.
All these oppositions prepare the reader for the final scene..
Agree
Banana fish anime just started so this is interesting thanks
@Siya Singh Jesus man, there is so much good anime per season, I’m still catching up on anime from 10+ years ago. It’s endless entertainment! I can’t keep up! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😎😎😎😎😎
@Siya Singh you see my comment was posted 2 years ago right ? 🤯🤯🤯
@@hanniffydinn6019 same so banana fish (soldiers from world wars) related. And btw I didn’t get this video. I thought he was giving a bf anime review.
The girl was not a stranger. She is jealous because he let another little girl sit next to him and he reprimands her for an unkindness he saw her do. She is very young, I think 3 years old and I saw kissing her feet as a spontaneous act of tenderness.. Salinger’s other stories of Seymour show a serious, sensitive person, not a creep. This story is important for being the death of Seymour.
Banana Fish anime lead me here!! 😭🤧
You probably can go watch one on Gigguk or Mother's Basement's Channel
Same! I want ash back 😿
Ash I thought you died and left Eiji alone
lmao same
This is an excellent analysis! I always interpreted the banana fish as a metaphor for the tortured soldier as well. You're clearly a very intelligent young man, I look forward to more content (I know I'm late, but still). Subbed!
Now I realise why was that pill called Banana fish
Kissing a child's feet is a catholic way of seeking redemption though the innocence I don't think it's supposed to be creepy idk just a thought
oh wow. thats powerful
I have an exam tomorrow about this story, i wasn't able to understand it actually. But, u helped very much, so thank u i liked how u analyze it.
At 0.38 this reviewer, referring to the child Sybil, says she runs along the beach - her parents not realzing she's gone. Wrong! Sybil's mother tells her to run along as she's going back to the hotel with a friend for a martini. I didn't bother reading the rest of the review after that, but my 2 cents worth is that the banana fish is a metaphor for America's post-war consumerism - and, to use a Holden Caulfield word - phoniness. Society is a glutton and gets captured by its own greed.
great analysis man. keep doing what you are doing.
I just realized that the Seymour in this story is Franny and Zooey's brother.
Which is interesting because when I read Banana Fish I still hadn't read Franny and Zooey.
im literally watching everything i can find about banana fish
thank you for this analysis
A Plus Brother
girl i be doing my english homework likeeee
Thanks
🥺thank you!
On my god shut up banana fish the anime fans this is a short story that has nothing to do with banana fish
bro has some nice eyebrows
Salinger's a bit creepy tbh, i love his works tho
Nice video
What did u get on this project
lol
You’re the only one who brings up the kissing of the foot. Points for you. IMO: Sy killed himself for being a- (ahem)- pedophile…? And couldn’t stop himself?
yo why are you wearing a suit wtf are you going to a wedding
he thinks it makes him look cool
He looks elegant and brilliant, and you seem to be shadowing his conversation with us about his fantastic insight on Bananafish with him wearing a great suit. He is who he is and I respect him greatly
Inkkles u know， in high school or uni there may be this project that you need to made a video about short story's or any other thing， surprised that you dont know that。
