  • One major theme in The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street by Rod Serling is accusing causes more problems. To start, Charlie accused Les Goodman because his car started even though everything else on Maple Street had no power. Then everyone became suspicious of Les and started a mob of people at the front of Les' house. Charlie wanted to find a scapegoat and went to blame Les right when his car started. All he did was make the situation worse because now everyone is mad at Les and there is a mob. To add on, when Pete Van Horn was coming back from Floral street after checking the power, everyone couldn't tell who he was. Tommy assumed that he was a monster and had no actual proof. Which lead to Charlie getting Don's shotgun and shooting Pete Van Horn. This proves the theme because Tommy accused Pete Van Horn and it caused even more problems because Pete died and they all still don't know who the aliens are. Third, Charlie tried to have Tommy be a scapegoat and blamed him because he knew what was going to happen. Then Tommy's parents defend him and a huge arguement breaks out. Everyone's power starts to go back on and everyone is blaming each other as the alien. In conclusion, accusing people will only make a situation worse and causes many issues.
