Monsters In King Kong
Throughout the history of monsters, not many have been more ferocious than King Kong. He originates from Kong Island, which the exact location is unknown but it is somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The first time we saw King Kong was in 1933 in the black and white film “King Kong” created by Edgar Wallace and Merian C. Cooper. He is portrayed as a giant gorilla and is brought back to New York City, where he escapes and climbs the Empire State Building where he later dies.

There have been many books based off of Kongs tragic story, such as The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island by Weta Workshop, The Island of the skull by Matthew Costello, and many more. In the stories, a New York Filmmaker and other people travel to Kong Island and a pretty woman is captured and given to Kong as a sacrifice. (but he ends up with some sort of feelings for her.) They go through hell and back to get her from Kong. Then end up capturing him and taking him back to New York. Once they are back, Kong is shown to people almost as if he were circus act. He escapes and goes to the top of the Empire State Building. Later to fall from the very top and die.

There have been many more renditions of the 1933 film, but those are the more known of them all. King Kong was very intelligent, very strong, and very fast. He has been seen as 60ft tall, which people see as terrifying. Descriptions and his mere reputation made him appear as a monster. A giant ape that is abnormally, strong, fast and intelligent sounds pretty darn scary. In the 2005 film, Kong killed both dinosaurs and humans themselves. He seemed to have a love for the young woman in each film and he’d stop at nothing to keep her safe. So he could also be looked at as a hero, but if you ask people what you think about him, they’ll most likely depict him as a

    The lens through which readers encounter monsters is often a skewed one. This lens could be that of the author, who seeks to embody a monster as a horrific, non-human entity that will cause havoc in an area. Similarly, this lens could be that of a character in a piece, one who witnesses the monster’s wrath and destruction firsthand and hopes to avoid the cruel savage being. Monster narratives rarely unfold from the perceptive of the monster, and, as such, audiences must rely on other sources as to the monster’s course of action. Such voices can carry a bias with them. As in the case of the author, the omniscient perspective provides descriptions of the monster without directly interacting the monster. This perspective could easily fail to report…

    The gila monster has got to be the least identified creature I have ever studied. What I mean is on WikiPedia.com, a site I am thankful for because I have used it greatly on past reports and it is great, there is barely anything on the gila monster. There might be four paragraphs that are each four sentences, if that. So to do this report it took many,…

    Godzilla Monster Theory

    For centuries people have been writing and passing down stories about a variety of different subjects. One topic that has always intrigued the general population is those stories of monsters. The reason these stories have always been so popular is because they are not actually about the monster itself, but rather about what the monster represents in regards to the time period as well as the culture of the place where the story originated. This is extremely apparent in the classic 1954 film Godzilla. Godzilla represents the first thesis of Jeffery Jerome Cohan’s “Monster Theory” which states that “The monster’s body quite literally incorporates fear, desire, anxiety, and fantasy. The monstrous body is pure culture” (Cohan). In the film Godzilla symbolizes the fear of atomic or nuclear war that many Japanese people were experiencing following WWII along with the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.…

    In Bouriana Zakharieva’s essay, Frankenstein of the Nineties: The Composite Body, Kenneth Branagh’s 1994 film version of Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein is discussed and examined in relation to its literary counterpart. A more recent film that seems to parallel the novel is Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 film, Jurassic World. The film is about a theme park that has created a genetically modified, hybrid dinosaur called the Indominus Rex. There are many similarities between the film and Shelley’s nightmarish story, one is the motif of science versus nature and the unnatural creation of life by scientists. With the “progress” of technology our culture reflects the fear of creating our own destruction. Jurassic World is a modern Frankenstein formed…

    On Monsters

    Many people perceive monsters as anything grotesque or not looking like the norm. In the book On Monsters, written by Asma, he mentions an array of monsters. He states, “One aspect of the monster concept seems to be the breakdown of intelligibility. An action or a person or a thing is monstrous when it can’t be processed by our rationality, and also when we cannot readily relate to the emotional range involved” (Asma 10). Because our perception is blinded by appearance, we fail to see the truth behind a monster –their actions. Although people define a monster by their appearance, it’s their actions that give them their identity.…
