| Beschreibung: | This paper investigates the self-critical perspective of the monster narrative in Rin Chupeco’s "The Suffering" (2015). Rather than portraying the monster as an external antagonist, the horror emerges from the merging of Self and Other, creating an internalized source of fear. The blurring of the boundaries between monster and human is analyzed through three deconstructed binaries, revealing the co-dependency of these contrasting couplings. Using a collection of essays on Monster Theory and Deconstruction Theory, the study demonstrates the instability and fragility of the onlookers’ humanity as they confront their own monstrosity. The dissolution of the Self/Other and Human/Monster boundaries compels us to critically reflect on our own monstrosity and consider how to either accept or overcome it. This repositioning of fears and the rejected aspects within the Self highlights the internal biases reflected in the attributes typically associated with the monster. | |||||||
