This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence, and squatted evilly on a rectangular block or pedestal covered with undecipherable characters” (Lovecraft 8). “It represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. Here is a good description of what he looks life, via a statue of the creature Cthulhu that was found in the story. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu.” Cthulhu is the cliché of what one automatically thinks of what when we hear the word “monster,” but that doesn’t mean that he’s not frightening. Although the monster isn’t real nine times out of ten, the mire thought of such a vile and vicious creature is what scares us deep inside.Ī perfect example of this stereotypical monster is none other than Cthulhu, the hybrid beast from H.P. The thought of the stereotypical monster coming out and rising to power means death and destruction for the planet and mankind. All it knows is the ability to cause destruction and chaos throughout the world. This creature has no conscience, and is presented to us as if it were a dummy. This stereotype of a monster presents itself (yes “it”, since a monster is commonly thought of as non-human) as a hideous, mythical creature. There is a stereotype of a monster I know we’ve all encountered one way or another. We have all seen monsters throughout our lives in many shapes and forms. A monster’s role in the world is to ruin life and, ultimately, destroy it. He, she, they, or even it has no respect for life. A monster has no moral values, and total disregard for ethics. Take note that each monster you hear of or encounter, whether it is through literature, movies, or real life, is ugly and rotten to the core on the inside. Yes, most monsters appear this way on the outside, but not all. It can be hideous, grotesque, and repulsive in all ways, shapes, and forms. who causes severe damage and ruins lives. What is a monster? A monster is a horrible person, creature, being, etc. However, what makes these horrors so frightening is not the face value of what they are, but the monsters behind the scenes that make these terrors so real in our daily lives. Many elements of life cause these horrors, which man has always struggled with: war, violence, disease, fear, hopelessness, apathy, etc. Since the dawn of the time, mankind has had to deal with a diversity of horrors throughout the planet.
