The Scarlet Letter, Catcher in the Rye, Huckleberry Finn?

All three main characters of those novels are rebellious in some way. Huck, Hester, and Holden are all misfits in the society they have been placed in. Therefore, each of their societies shuns them b/c they appear "flawed". In reality, the society itself is flawed; we can see this by the negative way the characters are treated, & through the character's own negative opinions of their situation and those they encounter.
