Happy Halloween! Which Literary Monster Are You?

Posted October 31, 2015 by Julie S. in General / 13 Comments

Happy Halloween! This is hands down the most fun holiday you can celebrate as a booknerd. I mean, the sky is the limit with costume options, right?

Take this fun quiz put together by Grammarly and see if maybe this should be a costume you consider.

What did you get? I got Pennywise, and I’m kind of terrified.

Pennywise is only one manifestation of the terrifyingly adaptable alien monster It. The title character of Stephen King’s “It” has the ability to morph into any number of beings in order to lure in victims and to appropriately terrify them prior to feasting. It is most horifically remembered as the disturbing clown Pennywise, who would draw children close to him with this disguise before attacking the innocents.

    I got Frankenstein’s Monster
    The romantic creation of Mary Shelley in her novel “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus,” Dr. Frankenstein’s monster is an aspirational, deeply sentient being who lashes out after his bids for humane treatment are rejected. Frankenstein’s monster wants friendship, love, and acceptance, but the prejudices of humanity compel him to disdain and destruction.

    The Werewolf!
    “Though the werewolf is a mythological creature who has appeared in tales for hundreds, if not thousands of years, you are most closely matched with the thirteenth century version from the epic poem “Guillaume de Palerne.” Here, the werewolf is a terrifying prince-turned-monster created by the sorcery of his own stepmother. But the werewolf’s loyalties remain with his family—he protects his cousin and his cousin’s beloved as they hide from persecution in a forest. Ultimately, the wolf-man takes revenge on his stepmother and breaks the curse.”

      Thanks, Erik. And I’m glad to know that the werewolf’s loyalties remain with his family. At least that’s one redeeming quality.
