- The Monsteres Are Due on Maple Street Theme; Violance doesn't solve problems
- In the story The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street by Rod Seling, one of the main themes is that violence does not solve problems. I think this, because I gathered evidence from the story My first piece of evidence to support this theme when the story first starts and all the power goes out, so all the families on Maple Street begin blaming each other of being the monster who caused the storage outage, and starting things that was out of control. For example, Les Goodman's car started by itself without anyone near it which made them accuse Les Goodman of being the monster . This supports my theme because it shows how quickly they blamed Les Goodman even though he could not control his own car, and it shows how they could not find the answer and how they thought blaming each other would find the answer. My other piece of evidence is when the part of the story when everyone started breaking their own things because they were delusional. This scene supports my theme by showing how people being delusional can lead to violence and unsafe practices. For example, some of the residents started suspecting Steve of being the monster instead of Les Goodman, because they found out from his wife that had been in the basement working on some type of radio, so they assume that it was to communicate with the monster. This scene shows how fast people could accuse anyone or anything to solve the problem and find out the truth. Lastly in the scene when Charlie shot a dark figure with a shotgun without trying to figure out what it was or who it was. This evidence supports my theme by showing how fast Charlie chose violence. This shows how violence did not solve the problem because Charlie shot the black figure which turned out to be Van Horn. The evidence I've gathered together supports my theme on how violence doesn't solve problems.
