  • He was indifferent

  • He redesigned it

Answer

The young Hamsun argued against realism and naturalism, which were dominant literary schools of thought at the time. He felt that they were too focused on the material world and that they lacked the spiritual dimension that he believed was essential to art. Instead, he advocated for a more subjective and personal style of writing that would capture the essence of human experience.
