... and using money are all things that grownups do but Holden yet still wants to remain innocent. Theses are few of the obvious ironies of Holden's personality. Holden's utter hate for the fact that we have to grow up and how he ties adulthood with corruption just shows how he has a large problem determining illusion from reality.

Also, there was a black stream in Mirkwood that made he who drank out of it suddenly very drowsy and forgetful of previous events.
