Chris McCandless from an early age began to despise and constantly disagree with certain things. For example, Chris hated his parents. He disagreed with them in many political and moral views. It seems as if Chris always felt out of place or uneasy and he couldn’t handle being around things that he didn’t like. One example of this is that in a letter with his sister he said that “I’m going to divorce them as my parents once and for all and never speak to either of those idiots

Chris is perhaps the most dynamic character out of the four boys because he is constantly evolving and adapting to the circumstances and the environments around him. He not only evolves on a personal level by confronting his stereotype and thus making a move to combat it. He also matures significantly in his awareness of others and what he provides as support for his friends.

     During Chris’s journey he never really opens up to anyone about his family. He doesn’t really show any affection towards them and if any it would be toward his sister Carnie. He writes in a letter to her stating that he is going to divorce his parents. The last time his parents saw him was after his graduation. Chris told his parents “ I think I’m going to disappear for a while” and that is the last they ever heard of him again.

Joe Keller is described as a martyr. The martyr can be depicted as a charismatic leadership ,sacrifices himself for the good of others that they may live. Joe is the father of Chris and Chris has always looked up to his dad his whole life but around this part of the play Chris finds out what his father has done “it was too late. The paper, it was all over the front page, twenty-one went down, it was too late” (Miller 420). All the respect the leadership that Chris had for his father was gone at this point he had lost it all when he found out his was the one that new about the cylinder heads he knew everything.

If his parents had a more normal and peaceful relationship, the outcomes would not have been so extreme. For example, having a stable family creates a healthier, more open and secure environment. Instead, Chris started to develop a distant relationship with his parents because of one of the choices the dad made, maintained two relationships. In addition, when a family relationship is in a chaotic stage, it will affect how the person treats other people.
