I am doing a project on Frankenstein and we have a quote "My vices are the children of a forced solitude that I abhor, and my virtues will neccesairly arise when I live in communion with an equal" I am having a hard time understanding what it means. I have to relate the quote to websites dealing with forced solitude fostering destructive behavior and communities fostering good behavior and i can not find any websites dealing with it. Any advise you can give me would be most helpful thanks.

Acceptance and positive reinforcement from the group can bring most children with problem behavior into more acceptable behavior. If the child is "outcast", then that seems to reinforce the negative behavior.
