- Description
- 'Monsters' focuses on the current representation of sexuality and its potential for change within the Young Adult genre, working to "normalize"- a flawed term in itself, as sexuality is inherently natural, and thus, normal- homosexual protagonists, granting them the same benefits and assumed acceptance that are a given for heterosexual characters. Examined through a largely dystopian viewpoint, as well as the subgenres of paranormal, romance and horror, the piece also explores the destructive versus constructive nature of love in all its variations.
