M. Jean Jacque spends an enormous amount of time name dropping this Monsieur or that Madame where he's dined and so on, giving advice no one wants to hear and apparently rendering services so great that he can, in all humility, claim to have saved the lives and family of such and such a person! All his friends hate him, he flees his adopted country for creating 'public disorder' in the form of his 'Social Contract' and manages to offend pretty much everyone. Jean-Jacque displays an incredible inability to reason and yet how this fool manages to write A Discourse on Inequality and Emile, I simply can't say. 

I actually like young Jean-Jacque despite his almost incestuous relationship with Madame Waren, his benefactor. He calls her 'mama' and she 'little one'. The woman is nothing short of a pedophile. But again Jean-Jacque spends his youth dithering from one scheme to another and failing in everything. The man is completely asinine but I guess it takes a complete social misfit to discuss the nature of man and speak the truth without fear:

The first man who had fenced in a piece of land, said "This is mine," and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody. ”
