Monster Theory

Monster Theory is a theoretical framework within literary and cultural studies that interprets monsters as symbolic constructs embodying societal fears, anxieties, and transgressions, contextualized primarily through the analysis of texts such as Beowulf and genres like horror to reveal how monstrosity functions as a recurrent signifier of the Other in human imagination.
