What are the common themes in famous monsters fiction?

One famous demon in fiction is Satan from 'Paradise Lost'. He is depicted as a powerful and rebellious figure, representing evil and the fall from grace. Another is Pazuzu from 'The Exorcist', a terrifying demon associated with possession. A well - known monster is Frankenstein's monster, created by Victor Frankenstein through scientific means. It's a tragic figure, initially seeking love and acceptance but often feared and rejected.

One common theme is the isolation of the psychic character. Since their abilities are often not understood by others, they tend to be alone. For example, in 'The Dead Zone', the main character is seen as an outcast because of his power.

Frankenstein's monster is also very well - known. Created by Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley's work. He is a patchwork of human parts, a tragic figure who is shunned by society because of his appearance, and his story delves into themes of creation and morality.

One common theme is adventure. Sea monsters often provide a source of danger and excitement, leading characters on thrilling journeys across the ocean.

Well, a big theme is identity. Female monsters in fanfiction often struggle with who they are. Are they the evil creatures that others perceive them as? Take a werewolf, for instance. She might be trying to find a balance between her human side and her wolf side. Another common theme is love. It could be a love that crosses boundaries, like a human falling in love with a female gorgon. And there's the theme of mystery. Female monsters are usually associated with some sort of mystery that the story gradually uncovers.

One common theme is the origin of the monsters. Writers often like to explore where these huge and powerful creatures came from in their fanfictions.

Isolation can be a theme too. In some cases, the missing person may have been isolated before disappearing, or the people left behind may feel isolated in their search for answers. In 'Gone Girl', both Amy and Nick were in a way isolated in their relationship which contributed to the events leading to her disappearance.

Monsters in science fiction often serve as antagonists. They are there to create conflict for the main characters. For instance, in 'Godzilla' movies, Godzilla is a huge monster that attacks cities, and the heroes have to find a way to stop it.

Common characteristics often include strange appearances. For example, they might have multiple eyes or tentacles. They usually possess superhuman abilities like extreme strength or the ability to fly. Also, many are highly intelligent, which makes them even more formidable opponents.

No, not really. While there are some science fiction works that feature strange and gooey creatures, they are not overly common. Most science fiction focuses more on humanoid aliens or mechanical beings.
