When we were younger our biggest fears are of the monster and demons that lived under our beds, but as we got older our fears turned into reality when we are forced to face extremely difficult social problems. The monster transformed from a harry, drooling beast to something so much worse called domestic abuse, and alcoholism. From a very young age Aileen Wuornos life was filled with social problems that would drive her to commit monstrous acts. The Film entitled “monster” attempts to capture Aileens love life with Shelby Wall and how it and other events lead up to Aileens murder spree of the 1980s-1990s.
