Perfect day for fish

-

"Perfect Day for Fish" (A Perfect Day for Bananafish) is one of the most famous stories of J.D. Salinger in the collection of "Nine Stories" published in 1953 (Polish edition 1964). The story, however, premiered in January 1948 in the American magazine The New Yorker and was very relevant to Salinger's future career. Story

The story takes place in a seaside resort where Seymour Glass and his wife Muriel spend the last day of their lives. The beginning of the story centers on Muriel's telephone conversation with his mother. Their conversation directly introduces the plot of the story, depicting the relationship between the characters and their individual characteristics. Much attention is devoted to Seymour's traumas and depression, which are a "memorial" after taking part in the war. Then the action moves to the beach, where during a vacation to Seymour comes a little girl named Sybil and proposes a joint play. During a joint bath in the sea, Seymour tells the story of a banana fish full of symbolism. After telling her, Seymour heads to the room where his wife is sleeping and shoots a gun from her head. Much has been discussed about how the human personality depends on the mood and how destructive forces are in the human interior, if outside the person makes a happy impression. A title can mean the perfect day for the last pleasure before the pain is literal.

The story of Salinger's banana fish presented by Seymour's child has become very popular. Her symbolism is not unambiguous. The banana fish can be a to Seymour, who engages with no real intentions or material-like Muriel.
