Good poetry is never created in the forms of twenty years ago, for if a poet writes in the old manner, he draws from an outdated life.

The monster is a frighteningly strong and sometimes disgusting creature, notable precisely because of the horror that inspires it. However, despite its original meaning, this term can also be used to refer to a person who sharply and usually for the worse differs from others in his moral qualities. As Primo Levi, an Italian writer and poet who survived the Auschwitz imprisonment, said, “There are monsters, but their numbers are too small to be a real threat.

Man obeys the law, be it the law of nature or the law of society. The monster doesn't just break the law - it repeals it. Who do we usually call monsters? For example, a werewolf is a monster that overrides the laws of nature. Transforms from a man to a wolf and vice versa. Sociopaths and maniacs are monsters that annul the laws of society. The law establishes what psychoanalysis calls reality testing, the need to measure oneself against the laws of nature and the laws of this society. Testing reality and bumping into laws and prohibitions, we see our limitations and experience losses. Coming close to the line established by the law, we feel anxiety, anxiety of approaching our own limit. Overcoming this trait, the human is transformed into a monstrous, not knowing limitations, anxiety and loss. But what is provoking such a transformation? What kind of person can be called a monster and what kind of monster can be considered evil? Who in general has the right to operate with such quantities as good or evil?
