A Perfect Day for Bananafish Assertion

In A Perfect Day for Bananafish I am going to prove that Seymour kills himself because society won't except him. Throughout the story, Seymour is shown outside of the boundaries of the hotel (society), staying on the beach in order to feel free and comfortable. Seymour feels unacknowledged and of little importance to his wife (Muriel), causing Seymour to be isolated and not accepted. Seymour feels especially ignored when Muriel didn't read the german poem book that he had gotten for her and was very important to him. Muriel says that "the poems happen to be written by the only great poets of the century." Although she decided not to read them because she didn't want to buy a translation or learn german, making Seymour feel that she doesn't care enough about him to learn about his personality and his feelings. However when Seymour was able to find another person who shared the same thoughts as he did and felt comfortable being with (Sybil), he realized that society wouldn't accept the relationship and that it wasn't morally right, resulting in Seymour giving up on life and killing himself when he returned to the hotel (society).
