After their first meeting, Ronald Franz misperceived Chris McCandless as a young man who was carefree and adventurous, not fully grasping the depth of McCandless’s troubled past and the complexities of his journey. Franz saw McCandless as someone embodying the spirit of freedom and independence, overlooking the internal struggles and motivations that drove him to abandon societal norms. This misperception led Franz to develop a strong admiration for McCandless, seeing him as an idealistic figure rather than a deeply conflicted individual.
