    Why The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

    According to “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”, it’s probably your neighbor. This play is about a group of people who live on Maple Street. After the power is out for a few hours, they start to panic. They eventually begin to blame each other, and start to get violent. They act like children and blamed aliens. They also killed a man because they thought it was aliens. Also, Tommy is fourteen, but acts like he’s six or seven. This is very inaccurate to what would’ve actually happened in a power outage.…

    Monsters Are Due On Maple Street Analysis

    It most likely starts with a meteor, and that meteor turns off all technology. Everyone is worried about this, and it gets worse when Jason says that this event is just like Independence Day [blaming aliens]. But unlike the original, people shoot that idea down. Instead, Phyllis says terrorists could be planning an invasion [which is a lot more believable, given the time period]. Dylan [Charlie’s equivalent] boosts this fear by saying that the terrorists could be going for the reservoir. People look down the street, at the house where a family moved in [I’ll call them the newbies]. The people of Maple Street get suspicious, and Will [Steve’s equivalent] and Dylan go to check it out. The family doesn’t open the door. So they head back. Later, the father of the family returns, in his car [also the lights in the house of the newbies are on], so Will goes to talk to the father. When Will comes back and the group asks how it went, Will says they aren’t terrorists. When the family asked if they should come outside, Will said no. Dylan, being the ringleader of the suspicion, points a gun at Will’s head, thinking he is the terrorist. Will makes a speech about that any of them could be terrorists, and that the terrorists are using their fear so they can mistrust each other, and then attack each other. Instead of continuing to finger point, the…
