The idea of real-life monsters living among humans is a fun and enjoyable concept. The story conveys how even monsters have to struggle for a living and have personal issues.

The word monster usually makes one conjure up thoughts of creatures brought up from the foul depths of hell. Their look can make anyone run away in fear of their life. But these are not the thoughts we have for the beasts in The Island of Dr Moreau, although they are the ones called monsters. What truly makes a monster? They way they look, or the way they act?
