Question

why did the mole give up his work? what did he do instead?​

Answer 1

Mole never travels around nature, but prefers to stick to his own domestic comfort (his underground home). His desire to leave the comfort of his life is therefore significant. It is also necessary, for whatever cause, that Mole leaves his house, not for any rational reason, but solely on impulse.
