For example, in scene one , when Steve and Don were planning on going down town to report the power outage, suddenly Les Goodman's car starts on its own, even though everyone else's cars haven't been working. Everyone starts to question Les as if he was the monster. Then one women says how sometimes when she comes home late at night and how'd she sees Les staring up at the sky like he's looking for something or as if he's waiting for something. That alone had people curious on why he had been staring into the night sky, so the people started to watch Les's house to keep an eye on him even though he claimed to have Insomnia. Which starts Another scene that supports the theme is when in scene two a shadowy figure approaches the neighborhood , and how Tommy insist its the alien and that's when Charlie's fear has him make an impulsive choice to shoot using Don's gun! Not knowing it was actually his neighbor Pete Van Horn. Charlies fear destroyed someones life and turned everyone against him. Then suddenly the power turns on in everyone's homes at different times and , everyone starts to destroy each others friendships, trust, and homes just because of their fears. Which shows how violence never fixes the problems and how it can destroy.
