What attitude toward society is best reflected by Thoreau’s actions in Walden ?

Thoreau went to live simply at Walden Pond, apart from the routines and pressures of ordinary society. His experiment was a retreat that let him examine how people lived and decide what mattered most. This best matches a desire to retreat from society when necessary, rather than a plan to reorganize society or gain status within it.
