This study is to find Salinger's philosophical changes and prove the hero's and heroine's spiritual growth in Salinger's latter stories, especially in three short stories, such as 「Seymour: An Introduction」, 「Franny」, and 「Zooey」. Salinger's peculiar characteristics are usually considered to be a failure, frustration, and the strong egos of heroes and heroines. Buddy, Zooey, and Franny, the three main characters of the Glass stories, also have difficulty communicating with others and suffer serious pain in adapting to society. It is by unlearning dichotomy that all of them overcome their problems in each of the stories. They once used to yearn for 'Rye Field', but now they no longer consider it as the ideal world. They can stay in 'Here and Now', which reflects Chuang-tzu's Taoism. The Glass brothers and sister (except Seymour who committed suicide) no longer remain frustrated unlike the heroes or heroines of Salinger's previous works. Buddy's realization of Seymour's Haikus and Franny and Zooey's of 'The Fat Lady' shows their spiritual maturity, which is a huge change of Salinger's we've never seen in his previous works.
