If I were a monster, I would be a Gremlin because I am so sweet and cute, but, just do not feed me after midnight... People can easily make me mad!
A monster can be someone who is ostracised by others because he is too different. But monsters like Elephant Man are more human than the rest of us. Frankenstein's monster tried to be human, but he scared the people who made him into a terrifying force of destruction. It is their fear that made him monstrous.
Some people are monstrous because they are psychopaths, they transcend moral rules.
Hiler was a monster because he refused to see the humanity in everyone; to him, Jews, Blacks, homosexuals, people with handicaps, Roma people, were all "untermensch", i.e. subhuman.
Everyone can become evil. It is the abscence or the opposite of God, of goodness. Evil nowadays is everywhere.
Religious fanatics are evil because, in the name of God, they hurt and kill.
None of us are completely innocent since we all have bad thoughts at some point in our lives.
