Thoreau confronted several social constructs and searched for the most appropriate ways the individual can live a happier, more fulfilling life – even without great means. And being a social thinker and philosopher, he constantly had questions about society and the norms by which people tended to live by. Henry David Thoreau is a man remembered for his contradictory beliefs and ideas. Setting: Walden Pond, Concord, Massachusetts.Climax: Thoreau describes how he embraces snowy days with joy and contentment.
Thoreau’s main motive for writing ‘ Walden’ was for it to serve as a form of lecture informing his Concord locals about his two-year experiences in Walden Pond – a place where he embarked on a personal mission to attain selfhood and complete freedom from society and its shackling construct.
