Topic: Tempting monsters
Tempting monsters: Investigate why a particular monster, or monsters in general, are not only something to be feared but something be desired. Try to identify the appealing qualities of the monster (or monsters in general) and consider these with the repulsive qualities. What does this say about our own fears and desires? Be specific.
