The Island of Dr. Moreau challenges the readers view of how to define a monster. Some would say Dr. Moreau is a monster, some would say Montgomery, and some would argue that the beast people are the real monsters. Some people would even say that there are no monsters in The Island of Dr. Moreau.
First, to address the most literal “monsters” in the book, the beast people. It is easy to say they are monsters because they are physically the closest to a monster.
Moreau could be considered a monster for obvious reasons. You could easily say that the experiments he did were cruel and inhumane. That being said, does it really make him a monster? He genuinely appears to see nothing wrong with these experiments, and believes he is just doing them
