The story under the title "Loneliness" written by Sherwood Anderson begins with the description of the place where the main character Enoch Robinson lived. Old citizens remembered him as a quiet, smiling youth inclined to silence. When he was 21 he came to New York City, but had terrific problems. He wanted to talk to people, but didn't know how.
So, the plot of the story centers round a man, who didn't communicate with people, because of his inconfidence. As a result, he started inventing his own people in his own room and talking to them. Naturally that didn't last for long, later he wished "to touch actual flesh and bone people". However every conversation finished the same way - he told his companion to leave him forever, thus again and again getting lonely.
So, the problem tackled by the author is the following - man possesses the qualities, which the god gave him, and despite all reasonable and unreasonable efforts - he wouldn't see what is not written in his fate.
Lots of facts prove that: "In his own mind he planned to go to Paris and to finish his art education among the masters there, but that never turned out.", "… he was always a child and that was a handicap to his worldly development", "He never grew up and of course he couldn't understand people and he couldn't make people understand him.", "The child in him kept bumping …"
In those sentences we see the arguments of his always being the same, the way god created him. All this drives us to the idea, conveyed by the author, sounding like this - man can't live in isolation, if he can, that will bring him nowhere.
Enoch was a dynamic character. And despite that, all stumbling blocks and life handicaps didn't manage him to alter something in his life to become different himself. Lack of intercourse made him invent his own people. What counts here is the fact that he has come to the place where he started. Surely a lot changed in his inner world, but it didn't affect the result. He got lonely. So, we can safely consider this idea true.
