Yes. 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath is a great example. The main character Esther Greenwood experiences deep loneliness and a sense of being trapped in her own mind as she struggles with mental illness. 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley also contains elements of loneliness. The monster created by Frankenstein is shunned by society and is extremely lonely, which leads to his vengeful actions. And then there's 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad, where Marlow's journey into the Congo is also a journey into his own loneliness and the darkness of human nature.
Definitely. 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte has strong themes of loneliness. Heathcliff and Catherine are both lonely in different ways. Heathcliff's isolation and longing for Catherine is a central part of the story. 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus is another. The main character Meursault is detached from society and experiences a sort of existential loneliness. Also, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. Dorian is lonely in his pursuit of hedonism and his secretive, corrupted life.
One great book is 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. The protagonist Holden Caulfield is often isolated and lonely in a world he sees as phony. His alienation from society and his struggle to find connection are central themes.

One loneliness success story is that of J.K. Rowling. Before achieving great success with the Harry Potter series, she was a single mother living on welfare, often feeling lonely. But she used that time alone to write. She poured her imagination into creating the magical world of Hogwarts. Another example is Steve Jobs. After being ousted from Apple, he had a lonely period. But he used that time to reflect and work on other projects. Eventually, he came back to Apple and led it to even greater heights.
There's a story of a young woman who moved to a new city for work. She didn't know anyone there. At first, she felt extremely lonely. She would come home to an empty apartment every day. But then she started to explore the city on her own. She found a little park where she could sit and read. One day, she met an old lady there who also liked to read. That encounter slowly changed her loneliness into a sense of peace and discovery.
Once there was an old man. His family all passed away in a war. He lived alone in a big, empty house. Day by day, he just sat by the window, looking at the street outside, waiting for someone who would never come back. His only companion was an old dog, but one day the dog also left him. He was left with just the silence and his memories of the past.
One great loneliness graphic novel is 'Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half'. It uses simple yet expressive illustrations to depict the author's experiences with depression and loneliness in a very relatable way. Another is 'Maus' which, while also exploring heavy themes related to the Holocaust, also delves into the loneliness and isolation of the characters in the midst of such a tragic historical event.
I recommend " Forty Years Without a House ", a novel about urban life where the protagonist knows how to endure and face loneliness after experiencing loneliness. Or, I can read " Extreme Forging ", a fantasy novel about a continent where the protagonist has been practicing forging ironware alone until he meets a similarly lonely female protagonist. I hope you like my recommendation.
