- The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street Theme: Fear and suspicion are destructive.
- One major theme of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street by Rod Sterling is that fear and suspicion are destructive. For example, after Steve is getting accused, Tommy sees what he believes to be the monster. This then leads Charlie to take a gun out of Steve's hand and shoot the figure which later Steve realizes is Pete Van Horn, who was coming back from the police station after everything first happened. Because of Charlie's shooting it leads everybody to think Charlie is the monster. Somebody even went as far as chasing and tackling Charlie to the floor in the written teleplay. They also threw rocks at his window which made his head bleed a little bit all because of his shooting on impact. Everybody still continues to blame Charlie and during that, we see a place above the town where the actual monsters are. They then proceed to say, With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find... and it's themselves. All we need to do is sit back... and watch. which shows how the monsters didn't really need to do anything because they would just do it to themselves. All of this information leads me to believe that the major theme of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is that fear and suspicion are very destructive.
- It's Pete Van Horn!
- With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find... and it's themselves. All we need to do is sit back... and watch.
