That is part of the point though.

He rejected so much of what he should have embraced in terms of material wealth and such and ends up dying.

Was he crazy? Maybe he was too rational? Was he happy at the end and would not have changed anything? Is 'man' supposed to grow old and fat or die young in the wild?

Which is natural? Which is a contradiction? Which is unnatural?


There is no right answer. The point is that his story leaves us asking those questions.
