"Walden" is a reflection on simple living in natural surroundings, documenting Thoreau's experiment of living in a cabin near Walden Pond for two years. It explores themes of self-reliance, nature's beauty, and the critique of society's materialism. In "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience," Thoreau argues for the individual's moral obligation to resist unjust laws and government actions, especially concerning slavery and war. Both works emphasize the importance of personal integrity and conscience in the face of societal pressure, advocating for a life of purpose aligned with one’s values.
