I think that most of the book explores what made Chris such an interesting and polarizing figure. Was he a counterculture hero or was he a self-absorbed vagabond? Krakauer tries to get into what Chris might have been thinking and what motivated him. There is a sense of dramatic irony before we read this book. Most people knew the tragic ending of Chris's story before they started reading. The interesting part of the story is Chris's journey in getting there.
