The first half of Monster’s Ball revolves around a family of executioners responsible for the last days of a black death-row inmate. Billy Bob Thornton is striking as Hank Grotowski, a native Georgian who has spent his life following in his father’s footsteps both as a corrections officer in the state penitentiary and as a racist. Peter Boyle plays Thornton’s retired father and delivers a gritty performance that is a welcome change from his role as the wise-cracking Frank Barone on CBS’s Everybody Loves Raymond. Heath Ledger is Sonny Grotowski, Thornton’s son, a third-generation corrections officer who never lives up to the family’s tough-guy standards and dares to have black friends. Hank and Sonny are part of an execution team assigned to Lawrence Musgrove, a cop-killer skillfully portrayed by Sean Combs, whose impressive performance suggests that his acting career may have as much earning potential as P. Diddy’s current line of work.

The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen Arthur Machen’s novel “The Great God Pan” published in 1890, sparked controversy among the press who criticized the short novel as appalling and perverted because of the sexual content as well as the degenerate technique the story uses (Lovatt 34). Yet, the novel has redeemed its status as a classic horror because of the supernatural belief that informed Machen’s main writings. By extension, the novel uses fantasies that are mysterious and supernatural to tell the tales through wonder and terror. Most significantly, Machen utilizes the first line of each stanza of the 1862 poem by Elizabeth Barret (A Musical Instrument) to produce the title of the novel.
