First, his past identity and life troubled him. He had an
estranged relationship with his father, and could see little point in living his life

idea of being completely free.

rash and spontaneous act on the part of Chris McCandless, it is the next logical step to
someone who is both literally and figuratively stepping of into the wild. Rather than a
troubling event, it seems as though he found it quite
liberating.
