Loyalty of Friends is another theme in the book. Nash grew up as a loner. He did not relate well to other people and this social ineptness followed him into adulthood. Nash would belittle people and engage in inappropriate pranks and this behavior alienated many people. Most people overlooked his behavior because of his genius. They respected his mathematical abilities and genius and were able to overlook his behavioral problems. Even though Nash did not have any real close friends, his friends and colleagues were there to help him when he became ill. When he was released from the hospital, Princeton arranged for a research position for him to help him recover and regain his working abilities. They did this several times over the years to try to help him regain his productivity. Some of these positions Nash attempted and others he refused.
