  • One of the main themes in “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” by Rod Serling, is don’t be quick to jump to conclusions without evidence. One example can be found in Act 1, when Les Goodman’s car starts all by itself. The residents of Maple Street start getting suspicious and start thinking that he is the monster. For instance Charlie says, “He always was an oddball. Him and his whole family. Real oddball.”(8) This is an example of how the residents quickly jump to their own conclusions, even though they have no evidence to show that he is the monster. Even though Les Goodman is one of their neighbors, they still accuse him of being the monster. Furthermore, in Act 2, another example to support this theme can be found when Steve was trying to break up the argument of Les Goodman being a monster. Charlie turned on Steve and started accusing him by saying, “You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we better keep an eye on you too!” (12) The other residents chime in stating, “Your wife’s done plenty of talking, Steve, about how odd you are!” (12). These quotes support this theme as one of the major overall morals of the story. Even though Steve was trying to be a leader and help sort everything out, Charlie and the other residents made a quick decision and started to blame Steve. They all jumped to conclusions and were accusing Steve without any evidence. A final example of how the characters are quick to jump to conclusions, is when Charlie shot Pete Van Horn. A dark shadowy figure approaches the residents of Maple Street. Tommy yells, “It’s the monster! It’s the monster!” (13) and then, “Charlie slowly raises the gun. As the figure gets closer and closer he suddenly pulls the trigger…” (14). Steve then goes to investigate and calls out, “It’s Pete Van Horn.” (14) This demonstrates the theme because Charlie and the group were very quick to assume that Pete Van Horn was a monster, and that conclusion caused an innocent person to die. To conclude, one of the main themes of, “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” is don’t be too quick to jump to conclusions without evidence because it can turn into a nightmare.
