Imagine a borderline sociopath, a manic personality driven both by testosterone and by a lust for the outdoors, a combination of Hemingway deprived of Montparnasse and Hunter S. Thompson without his drugs. That is Hamsun's protagonist in Pan--he's a man perfectly at home in the woods, but put him within earshot of civilization and soon he'll come apart, most spectacularly, at the seams.
