"Solitude is an ambiguous state throughout Rousseau's writings. In the Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality, he portrays human beings in their natural state as isolated swellers in a hospitable forest. But in his more personal work, he often portrays solitude not as an ideal state but as a consolation and refuge for a man who has been betrayed and disappointed. In fact, much of his writing revolves around the question of whether and how one should relate to one's fellow humans. Hypersensitive almost to the point of paranoia and convinced of his own rightness under the most dubious circumstances, Rousseau overreacted to the judgement of others, yet never could or would subdue his unorthodox and often abrasive ideas and acts."
