"The short story "The Monster" tells an important story about human nature through the use of elements such as plot and relationships. As this answer shows, plot is important as the impact of the story is heavily dependent upon its structure and, in particular, upon its conclusion. In a similar way, it is the relationships between the characters in the story that, reinforced by plot, convey the story's theme about human nature. In outline, the story tells of an event at a Russian film studio where a film is being made of a horrible event in Russia's past in which a bloodthirsty governor - the "monster" of the story's title - was responsible for the deaths of many Russian Jews."
