Character of problems/rousseau

The characters of my problems would be me. My inability to make my own decisions was a part of me since I was a kid. Well, I'm mostly afraid of making the wrong choices because I hate being wrong. So I mostly let others (mostly my sister since I adore her so much) do the decision making for me.
okay, so. after reading the book, i assume the monster would be the white men. you know, they try to convert people (which they did), take over land, disregards people's beliefs and all that good stuff.
for some reason, i couldn't relate rousseau's savage to the book. even though i think it's the white men that are monsters, these white men have their society unlike rousseau's savage. Rousseau's savage is a person that is alone and without society so this puzzles me.

problem

The problem that has the most affect on me is my inability to make a decision or make one in time. Throughout my life, it was my parents and mostly my sister that would decided everything for me. Because of that I never had much opinion on anything. I fear that if I make any decision, they would be the wrong ones and I would just feel horrible about it. I made my own decisions before but they ended badly and I couldn't take the consequences and since then, I rely on my sister a lot to help me out.


Rousseau/frankenstein

Rousseau had said that society made man evil and I think it does relate to Frankenstein. In the monster's point of view, people rejected him because he was hideous looking. Since society had treated him badly, he reacted to things badly. Throughout the book, the monster did do bad things like killing Victor's wife, friend and brother. However, he wanted to be accepted but sadly not.
