New thought: Griffin and Abraham themselves are the symbolical banana fish

In JD' Salinger's novel "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" the titular bananafish were metaphors for two things: 1: materialism and 2: wartime soldiers' personal experiences.

Number 1: When bananafish enter the holes in the ocean they consume the bananas in there and gain an obsession for them, eating so many that they're too fat to get out, and die.

Number 1 is all Abraham, his obsession with his drug and "justifiable" revenge on the soldiers that bullied him in Vietnam/Iraq.

Number 2: They also represent soldiers who went into war (the feeding holes) and then consumed so many horrors that they were mentally unable to reintegrate themselves back into society, some (many, actually, I've seen some stats and Holy shit) committing suicide out of trauma and guilt.

Number 2 is all Griffin, entering the war as an innocent and then losing himself to drugs and then going into a catamose state before being killed by the other version of bananafish, Abraham
