The Transcendentalist Literary Movement

Character Analysis: Chelsea: The idea of transcendentalism is dependent upon the idea of introspection and the knowledge of the self. Chelsea touches upon the fact that interacting with others is antithetical to the journey of self-discovery, as transcendentalists preferred the individuals to feel the expanse of nature through isolation, and interaction with others distracts from the fact. When referencing Thoreau’s essay on civil disobedience, Chelsea shows the idea that an individual in a society should not conform to established standards. The idea of not being "born to be forced" emphasizes that the source of life, whether it be God or nature, does not intend for the individual to be restricted or forced to live in a certain way. To "breathe after [one's] own fashion" implies that people should live their lives how they want it to be, rather than allow others to dictate their actions and emotions. Donya and Chelsea: The conflict between rationalism and transcendentalism is portrayed between the two siblings through the idea of social responsibility. Donya's identity is formed around the ideas of rationalism, emphasizing the importance of logic and truth. She values education and conformation to family and societal expectations because logically, it enables her comfort and survival. Chelsea argues that this idea of rationalist thought is too narrow and incompatible with a society that is not receptive to the individual identity or change. Chelsea's identity is formed around her desire to do what her intuition tells her, rather than listen to what others want her to do. Donya prefers to build herself around the truth and reasoning, while Chelsea prefers to engage in individuality and freedom. Neha: Neha expresses the idea of being a "free bird", and that freedom to go anywhere reflects the transcendentalist idea that people should not be restricted by others, but that they should instead live their lives the way they want to. Her quote "It's not what you look at that matters, but what you see" indicates that truth lies not in logic and reasoning (what you look at) but rather in intuition (what you see). This emphasis of intuition over logical thought is a quintessential Transcendentalist belief. Madhav: Madhav constanly references the wonders of the natural world because transcendentalists believe that the best way to foster their individuality is away from the confines of society, in the unrestricted "heart of nature." In nature, there are no standards one must conform to, enabling everyone to express their true selves. Katerina: Katerina has a strong bond with God and the natural environment around her. (She's crazy, so her natural environment also contains nature spirits). Like Chris and other Transcendentalists, she has a strong spiritual core, believing that God placed goodness around us to use although some may lead to harm. Chris, in Into the Wild, shows how grateful he is to God for everything that He bestowed on Earth. "I HAVE HAD A HAPPY LIFE AND THANK THE LORD" (Krakauer 199).
