A) Being a “perfect knight” that  is courages, gentleness, courtesy, and chivalry is a Galahad complex.

B) I would say Holden doesn’t have a Galahad complex although he he is gentle around Phoebe and stands up to Stradlater, in most cases he doesn’t stand up to people even though he wants to. He is also not courteous in the slightest bit with his constant profanity, and has constant doubt in himself and in others.

A.) From what I have learned about Sir Galahad from the website and Loom video, I think what constitutes a Galahad complex can be compared to a person who attempts to be flawless and almost define what perfection is. Sir Galahad was mentioned to be the “Perfect Knight” and he was associated with characteristics such as being courageous, gentle, and courteous; these traits help to define some of the characteristics in this complex.  This Galahad complex also implies that a person who possesses some of these traits makes them “superior” to others. Sir Galahad was “superior” because he was able to draw the sword from the stone.
B.) I would have to agree with most people saying Holden Caulfield has a Galahad complex. I believe this because although he has a slightly self-centered personality -acting as if he is superior to others-, he also attempts to be courageous, gentle, and courteous. I can see why readers would believe Holden does not possess the qualities of of this complex: he carries himself selfishly and as if he is higher than others. He also tends to think only his views on the world are correct. A prime example of his actions of “superiority” can be seen when he calls people out for being “phony”. Despite these traits, a closer examination reveals Holden’s characteristics are comparable to those of Sir Galahad's. Holden’s gentle side can be seen when he shows compassion towards Jane and his brother who passed away. Holden can even recall the exact date of his brother’s death stating he died “July 18, 1946” (Salinger 43). He attempts to be courageous when he fights Stradler about Jane Gallagher; he fights Stradler in order to preserve the innocence of his old friend. Although Holden can act selfishly, through his need to preserve purity and his acts of courage and compassion, Holden has a Galahad complex.

A) A person who has a Galahad complex believes that they are perfect and superior to others. Sir Galahad believed that he was superior to others because he drew the sword from the stone
B) Holden is in a Galahad complex because he is arrogant and self centered, it also seems whatever decision he makes, he believes that he is making the right one.

A) A person who has a Galahad complex thinks that they are a perfect individual that has the best attributes. For example, courage, gentleness, courtesy, and chivalry. Being perfect in these four attributes considers that person the "Galahad complex" because those four attributes makes you the perfect knight. This makes you feel superior to everyone else and better the other people.
B) I agree with most people with the fact that Holden does have a Falahad complex because of his almost cocky and self oriented attitude towards most things. He feels like what ever he does, he we will be right. He also displays all atributes throughout the book, gentleness, courage, civilary

A. A Galahad Complex is someone who believes they are perfect or superior to everyone else. Galahad was seen as the "world's best knight" because he was able to pull the sword from the stone. He was also labeled as the perfect knight because of his courage, gentleness, courtesy and chivalry
B. In my opinion I believe Holden does have a Galahad complex. Holden has a Galahad complex because he always believes he is in the right and he is always criticizing everyone else but never thinks he may be the one doing the wrong thing. He also doesn't like talking to people unless he believes they are worth the time such as when he sees D.B.'s old friend in New York with the Navy man.

A. A Galahad Complex is someone that feels that they are above everyone else and are basically perfect. Like how Galahad was seen as the perfect knight.
B. I think Holden has a Galahad complex because Holden seems to think his choices are mostly the correct ones and does not see what he does as wrong. He seems to blame others and not think he is in the wron

A.) A Galahad Complex is when a person feels that they are superior and/or perfect. Galahad felt he was the best because he drew the sword from the stone and saw the Holy Grail.
B.) If a Galahad Complex is someone who thinks they are the best, then Holden isn't a Galahad Complex. Holden doesn't truly think he is the best and realizes that he does struggle to connect with people and has very few friends. Holden might try and present himself as the best, but he knows that he is lonely and is struggling.

A. What I think constitutes a Galahad Complex is the desire to be known to others as perfect, just like how Galahad was the "Perfect Knight" in "courage, gentleness, courtesy, and chivalry".
B. Holden does have a Galahad Complex in my opinion. This is because throughout The Cather in the Rye, he is very critical of the others that are around him, but will never make any criticisms of himself, and if he never criticizes himself, it means that in his mind, he believes that he is perfect. One example of this occurring is during chapter 4 of the story, where Holden criticizes Stradlater of "always asking you to do him a big favor" (Salinger 32).

Question A:
a Galahad Complex it seems would be someone that thinks they are perfect. Galahad was a "Perfect Knight" and he was the chosen one to lift the sword, he was the best. Considering that and the word "complex" it woud most probably mean a person who either thinks they are perfect or are a chosen one and are extremely special
Question B:
I think that Holden would have that complex if it adressed that they thought they are perfect, simply becuase as many others have said he seems to blame others before himself, he thinks many issues that he must deal with aren't his fault but others around him.

A) Based on the article, I think that a Galahad complex is a person who is considered to be a 'perfect knight' and a leader unafraid of a long adventure.

B) I believe that Holden does not posses a Galahad complex because he was kicked out of school, uses profanity, and does not always show kindness of chivalry to others. For example, he constantly lies to Mrs. Morrow on the train.
