Yeah. Thinking about all the misunderstood “monsters” of fiction, the Frankensteins and the Beasts, and how more often than not people end up being the real monsters.

I feel like people create the fictional monsters as proxies, I think, for all of things about ourselves (personally and as a society) we’d rather not discuss openly.
