Godzilla--A perfect example to understand Cohen's seven these of monsters

   When I read Cohen's article about the seven these of monster culture, some of those just reminded me of Godzilla instantly. In other words, when looking through Godzilla again after reading Cohen's article, I feel I am not just reading the interesting story anymore, but understand the culture of monsters inside of it. That is amazing, because I feel closer to the world of monsters.
   
One of these theses that I think Godzilla matches perfectly is the fifth one: The Monster Polices the Border of The Possible. , which means monsters show and warn that  exploring unknown things is dangerous. Godzilla is awaken by misuse of nuclear technology, which warn human that the exploration of nuclear need to be controlled. If losing control of it, danger will  come aside. Thus, from the example of Godzilla, I can better understand this point that monsters always remind us of the punishment of endless exploration.
   
Moreover, the last thesis that Cohen mentioned in the article also have something in common with Godzilla. The seventh thesis indicates that monsters are settled by us, we can put them into dark as well as coming back. From the original version of the movie Godzilla produced by Japan, Godzilla hide into the deepest place in the ocean, but it came back in Hollywood version.
  
 In a nutshell, what I mentioned above shows that the theses that Cohen holds is convincing. And, obviously, it also shows that Godzilla is a representative monster that can verify the seven theses.

Another interesting point that I conclude after seeing those monster stories and movies, simply, is that monsters are products of generation or era. In other words, monsters in the same generation always have something similar.  For example, I remember when I was in middle school, vampire theme is popular for making movies. And zombie is also like a hit during a specific period of time.
