monsters and monstrous: Niall Scott

The book is about how in movies, literature, and even music, the idea of monsters is used to say something about the human condition. Different articles talk about different movies and types of monsters and what they say about society in general. Some are interesting while others are not. There is one article in particular that caught my attention because the author was proclaiming that by becoming monstrous, it can be used as a tool to escape from general societal boundaries and possibly be free. So becoming monstrous is a path to possible freedom. I don't really agree with this thesis. Because when someone is labeled as being monstrous, then they are simply being categorized in another way and then they have to live up to this new category.
