about monsters

Prompt #3: Desiring the Monster. Jeffery Jerome Cohen suggests that monsters reflect our desires, especially desires involving freedom, escape from restrictions, or the ability to make socially unacceptable choices. Using Shakespeares Titus Andronicus and/or Joss Whedons Buffy the Vampire Slayer for support, discuss the ways in which monsters can function as symbols of desire. What kinds of monsters do we see in the text(s) youve chosen, and how do they reflect the idea of desire? In what different ways might these monsters be attractive, and what does that tell us about larger cultural desires and assumptions (for instance, the assumption that romantic love is important, or that social acceptance is important)? You should have a clear thesis, no later than your second paragraph, that makes a statement about who or what is monstrous in the play and/or television show and how those monsters connect to the idea of desire, then use your body paragraphs for evidence and support.
