What is a monster? Most people define a monster as someone or something that is inhuman, hideous, and fierce, that inspires fear among the masses and leaves death in it’s wake. A being that holds no regard for life, and demonstrates its malicious nature through ferocious and ruthless acts, such as drinking a young virgin’s blood, or slaying and then feasting on innocent victims. Although images of beings such as Dracula, Grendel, Medusa, and even Victor Frankenstein’s creature pervade our thoughts when we contemplate the question, “What is a monster,” maybe the mind jumps to conclusions just a bit too quickly. A true monster is depraved, inhumane, and lacks remorse and care for everything pure and good. A monster is the embodiment of evil.
