The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street Theme
Text z Príbehu
- One major theme of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" by Rod Serling is Mankind is its own worst enemy. For example, when Charlie shot Pete Van Horn he thought it was a monster so he got frightened and shot him without checking if it was a monster or not. This supports the theme because since he was scared he acted fast and shot him but even though he didn't mean he still made that decision and now he will never see his neighbor again. Another part of the story to support the theme is after Charlie shot Pete Van Horn Charlie's house lights turned on and everybody started accusing him that he's the alien and after that happened the rest of the neighbors started throwing rocks at his house and as he got cut by glass that was broken. This supports the theme because after everyone was blaming him Charlie, Steve, and the rest of the neighbors didn't have to start getting violent they could have talked about it instead of hurting people and scaring everyone. The final example is when the aliens are looking from above Maple street and they say that humans "They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find and it's themselves." Finally this supports the theme because although they say it in the story they believe if they leave them alone humans with a little problem they will soon destroy themselves. Overall Mankind is its own worst enemy is one of the main themes in "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" by Rod Serling.
