In addition to the difference, some parts of the movie also focused on other conflicts and problems faced by the characters. One good example is Audrey’s efforts were not being paid off. She follows almost all Charles Caiman’s request, but he is unwilling to help Audrey. Because of her problem in her career, she was forced to steal the tape. However, because Caiman is a greedy reporter, he stole the tape and claimed it as his report. Nick is the epitome of a dedicated scientist. He sacrificed his love life to move on with his career.

These scenes clearly showed the difference of French and American culture when it comes to food and beverage. Phillipe’s preference to food and coffee clearly suggested his nationalism like what he stated in the movie. Victor Animal Pallotti is also a cameraman who loves to take risks even though it means being killed in the scene. Godzilla almost got him killed when Victors attempts to record a video of a dinosaur walking through the streets of Manhattan. Nevertheless, he also served as an extremely helpful friend for Audrey.

Who is the real monster in War of the Worlds and Monsters? Monster is a strong word that requires unpacking to figure out what it actually means as it is interpreted in many different ways. As kids, we were taught what a monster is and why it is a monster, but it has scary face and that is what children cling to and what they think of when monsters are mentioned, whereas in this essay I will bring light to my interpretation of monsters as being something that has control and power but abuses it through cruelty and bad decisions.

In Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s Monster Culture (Seven Thesis), Cohen analyzes the psychology behind monsters and how, rather than being a monstrous beast for the protagonist of the story to play against, “the monster signifies something other than itself”.

Monsters are born of an intense fear, desire, or internal conflict, “at this metaphorical

As a kid I grew up under the false assumption that Frankenstein was the actual name of the monster but this is obviously not the case, nevertheless, it begs the question: is Frankenstein a monster in his own way? To answer the question who the real monster is in this novel is it important to make a list of actions that each character has done. On one hand the monster has committed arson when he set the De Lacey's home on fire, and this was the first real crime that we've seen the monster commit. Afterwards, we see the monster strangling William and framing Justine for the murder and later on in the story we see the monster kill Henry and also Elizabeth. Although the monster committed murder which is extremely bad and does make him monster, it is important to realize that the monster wasn't bad to begin with and it was only due to his alienation and isolation which eventually turned him into what he was.
