The Almighty drove Those demons out, and their exile was bitter, Shut away from men, they split Into a thousand forms of evil---spirits And fiends, goblins, monsters, giants, A brood forever opposing the Lord’s Will, and again and again defeated. Then, when darkness has appeared, Godzilla Went up to Herot, wondering what the warriors Would do in that hall when their drinking was done. Godzilla stomps into into Herot, Destroying all the little buildings He found them sprawled in sleep, suspecting Nothing, their dreams undisturbed. The monster’s Thoughts were as quick as his greed or his claws: He slipped through the door and there in the silence Stepped on thirty men, smashed them Unknowing in their beds, and ran out with their bodies, The blood dripping behind him, back The men are getting terrified To his ocean, delighted with his night’s

The modern Godzilla now was greatly linked to science and the environment, an area that was increasingly indefinite and devastating. It represented our generations fears of the unknown and what according to Dendle "it means to be human"(Dendle 177). Throughout his essay, Dendle focuses on the changing nature of the Zombie monster as it gradually re-morphs itself upon newer audiences. In a sense, the changing nature of a monster represents the changing nature of humanity overtime. In the twenty-first century English remake of Godzilla by Gareth Edwards, the monster has drastically changed as Godzilla was now a millennial beast representing our own culture moment. Japan and Russia, now strong economic allies of the United States have simmered down tension, and negotiated peace, thus killing the 20th century Toho-produced Godzilla and the American Zilla that represented the terrors of the atomic bomb. This millennial monster now represented the events that cursed the Millennial generation like the spread of HIV/AID, an unheard of deadly disease that plagued Americans especially during its early development as it became a death sentence to those who were infected, the Year 2000 problem (Y2K), and the surge of the supernatural brought out by the imaginations of a well-informed, tech-savvy generation. In the 2014 film of Godzilla, the fears of the generation
Who is the real monster within the boundaries of society? In the classic novel written by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, the monster was characterized as an evil antagonist who has the murderous tendencies to annihilate the precious beings of mankind. However, the readers have yet to understand the victim underneath the distorted flesh and inhumane features since “the monster” was under the clutches of injustice because of the unreasonable ostracization, deplorable reason of creation, and unbearable misery.
Puchner’s belief that monstrosity is defined by perspective is highlighted throughout “Beautiful Monsters.” Puchner and Swift support his theory through their differing accounts of monstrosity. Puchner’s story provides evidence of how a monster is defined in a fantasy and how the rules of society and the people living in it contribute to the development of monsters. Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” demonstrates how monstrosity is defined and how it affects society in real-life situations. The fact that Swift is capable of creating different monsters under different scenarios is unquestionably evidence that monsters are a matter of perspective.
Monsters are towering, fierce beings best known for causing nightmares and battling heroes. Tales are told of their devastating power, but also of their agonizing defeats. Monsters are symbols of the inherent evil of human nature and of the dark truths of the natural world. Monsters are also challenges, tasks a hero must complete. Sometimes monsters are the ultimate measure of a hero’s worth, other times just another step in a hero’s journey. In the book Bulfinch’s Mythology, Thomas Bulfinch writes that “Monsters, in the language of mythology, were beings of unnatural proportions or parts, usually regarded with terror, as possessing immense strength and ferocity, which they employed for the injury and annoyance of men.” Although independent of what they represent, Monsters come in numerous builds and multiple figures, like humans.
When the monster (also Nature) is created, the role of antagonist and protagonist changes due to enforcement. When the monster was created, it wasn’t the antagonist. It tried to do many good things such as saving a small girl. Those good deeds were never rewarded, causing the monster to be disgusted with humanity making it, by...
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a truly famous novel that has been revisited by many, as well as revised by the author in the many years since its original publication. Within this novel Shelley conveys the tragic fictional story of Victor Frankenstein and his monster that he thoughtlessly brought to life, as well as the lives of those affected by his hideous creation. Throughout the novel it is made quite apparent that the monster was not inherently evil, in fact the monster was quite benign, however through its interactions with society the monster is slowly shaped into a being that can truly be called just that, a monster. All of the aforementioned change to the monster are brought about in part by the societal standards of the time period
For my recitation I chose the poem, “Monstrance Man," by Ricardo Pau-Llosa. I selected this poem from the Poetry Out Loud archive because I liked the way it was structured and written. As I first skimmed the poem my understanding of it was shallow, but as I began to practice it I gained a deeper knowledge of its story and meaning. I realized the depth of the protagonist and how greatly I empathized with him. Specifically, I learned the definition of the term “Monstrance” and that
Imagine waking one day to witness the tragic state of hundreds of thousands of homes being left in ruins, along with the ashes and rubble of major cities, and the casualties of millions of citizens. This was evident on August 6, 1945 in Hiroshima, Japan when the first ever atomic bomb dropped. A mere three days later, and Nagasaki, Japan was also bombed, and the world was taken by storm. Even though WWII is in the past, the long-term effects on Japanese citizens and the debate on possible outcomes of the war is still discussed decades after the events. According to Peter H. Brothers in “Japan’s Nuclear Nightmare: How the Bomb Became a Beast Called Godzilla,” these events inspired film director, Ishiro Honda, to create the monster movie Godzilla,
"The monstropolous beast had left his bed. The two hundred miles an hour wind had loosed his chains. He seized hold of his dikes and ran forward until he met the quarters; uprooted them like grass and rushed on after his supposed-to-be conquerors, rolling the dikes, rolling the houses, rolling the people in the houses along with other timbers. The sea was walking the earth with a heavy heel.
...ces and the reactions he chose to have. The book serves as a moral, if the monster had been given proper attention and guidance he could have been accepted and become ‘good’ but since society chose to outcast him and treat him cruelly, he mimicked those behaviors and likewise in turn treated humanity with cruelty. The development of the monster was extensive in the emotional, psychological and intellectual areas, the dualism of his personality gives him a double-identity which leaves us to question whether he truly became like Adam or Satan.
The book goes into greater detail regarding the monster’s hardships, has a more eloquent and persuasive monster and has a more heartbreaking ending. As a result a reader feels greater sympathy towards the monster in the novel rather than in the play. The monster begins his journey a purely innocent and kind being, but because he has to suffer the misfortune of having such a monstrous appearance he is condemned by society. Frankenstein tells the story of a benevolent being persecuted by man, and has the reader questioning who the real monster is.

...ow they responded to his kind ways. “I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind.” (pg. 74) He is hated and so he will hate also, even children hate him for only the reason their parents have taught them to be prejudice. ” You are an ogre” ”Hideous monster, let me go!” (pg. 75) The monster starts to hate himself for being what he is, an ugly, huge, beastly looking evil. The monster feels more and more like a human, which leads down a terrible road of good and bad in the eyes of a beast. The monster loves nature, but as an anti-romantic, nature cannot love him back. “Nature decayed around me, the sun became heatless; rain and snow poured around me; mighty rivers were frozen; the surface of the earth was hard and chill, and bare, and I found no shelter.” (pg. 73)
