Jude feels isolated, but he also feels like he deserves to be isolated. When the man is down, the man is down. There's not a lot of middle ground when it comes to feelings of loneliness for this guy.

Man, Little Father Time needs his own novel! Who can make this happen? The boy's isolation is different from Jude's. Like his father, he too feels like he does not belong in the world. However, unlike his father, there is something almost inhuman about his endless, unrelenting sadness. It is not surprising that LFT finds himself off in his own little isolated world.
