Answer 1

Answer:

Physical Monster

Explanation:

The English word Monster comes from the Latin Monstrum which means abnormal or supernatural in appearance. It can also mean wonder or miracle. Of course, the most common connotation is a repulsive or abhorrent character. Yet we cannot discount the wonder or miracle part of the definition. It is there that the Monster becomes “other”—a thing that is beyond the norms of human comprehension. While we may only think of the Monster as threatening, this character, who can be male or female, is instead a manifestation of what humanity cannot explain and therefore fears.

Physically the Monster may display some unnatural traits including dwarfism, giantism, physical splicing with another creature, extra or missing human features, or some other element that clearly differentiates the character from what society terms as normal. Beyond the physical, the Monster may commit heinous acts beyond the comprehension of his/her society. The term is often bandied about both in literature and in real life when something is too horrible to contextualize.

Writing the Monster off as merely a thing that bumps in the night, however, is minimizing what the character represents on a deeper level. Often the Monster is only that because of the limits of society’s understanding. A Monster ostracized by society due to its own hypocrisy or fear may represent the twisted image of the rotten interior of that society, such as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
