This paper explores and analyzes how the relationship between humans and nature is misunderstood as solitude with solidarity with reference to the novel Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. This novel belongs to the genre of travel writing. Throughout the novel the author focusses on building the character of the protagonist, who ignores materialism, intimacy, society and lives as a transcendentalist. This work explores how an individual can’t escape the structure of social communion, hence proving self-reliance at the ego of just proving it is not of pure human emotion because humans are designed to co-exist. As the novel discusses two intertwined plots, the personal characterization of the protagonist named Chris McCandless simultaneously along with the characters psychological developments. This paper dissects both the novel and the film adaptation to understand how the mediums have impacted the audience with the core themes of the plot.
