Although a discussion of Einstein’s theories of relativity might be fun, we’re not exactly qualified to cover them—and might have difficulty tying them in with monsters, apart from “monstrous” (i.e., supermassive) black holes—our “monstrous relativity” instead involves the cultural relativity of what might be considered monstrous.
What do you think of when you hear the phrase “monstrous insects”? Do you get a mental picture of prehistoric giant dragonflies from the works of Jules Verne? Or of the giant, radiation-mutated bugs omnipresent in films from the 1950s that arose in the wake of atomic testing? Would it interest you to know that giant insects existed long before that— in the imagination of the ancient Greeks?
