'Everyone is a monster to someone. Since you are so convinced that I am yours, I will be it.' - Captain James Flint, "Black Sails"
Very interesting and thought provoking. To me, snakes are monstrous creatures that invoke absolute fear and flight from me. But to others, snakes are beautiful creatures in nature. So, just like beauty, monsters are in the eye of the beholder. Awesome post :)
Just the exact quote svemirac shared! the one from Black Sails. It's a good one.
It is very interesting how a monster is defined by our point of view too. As you point out, we can think of something or someone as frightening or foreign, yet others may not see them as monstrous at all. It's all about perception.
Thank you for you comment @tropicalwolf!
