Rousseau, Frankenstein & My Problem

Rousseau's state of nature is that everyone is born good but society turns them evil. Personally, I think that Frankenstein relates more to Rousseau because the monster was at one point nice, and curious, but because he was ugly society was scared of him and in turn defended themselves because they somehow felt threatened. They mistreated him and hurt him which made his gentleness turn into violence and vengeance.

My problem....it's hard to come up with a problem that i face everyday. hmmm...I suppose my problem must be that i haven't had a father figure in my life since my parents divorced when i was about five, and i don't know how it has affected me or my attitude towards other male figures. Has it made me angry or happy? Has it made me weaker or stronger? I don't know.
