The Theme of The Kraken-
“The Kraken,” by Lord Alfred Tennyson, further develops and mystifies the persona of the Kraken, in other words, the great myth of this millennia: the Kraken is further represented as a “monster” that creates havoc for all who enter and disturb his habitat, as seen in the picture above.
As seen in, “Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep, until the latter fire shall heat the deep,” which represents the Kraken’s everlasting desire to cause havoc until the end of the world, which the fire signals in Christianity. Also, “Then once by man and angels to be seen, in roaring he shall rise and on the surface die,” which states that, The Kraken will only survive if it stays hidden and undisturbed, but once touched, it will have a chance of death. Basically, the Kraken is portrayed as evilness inside people, and the only way to destroy it, is to confront it.
Answering the Question of the Century: "Are Monsters created or discovered?"
In terms of my response to the essential question, I believe that monsters are generally created rather than discovered, because usually in human nature, humans like to blame their problems on other things and procrastinate to solve their issues. For example: If in ancient history there was a ship crash, it’s human nature for the human to create a symbol to blame it on, which in this case it’s the Kraken. Also, it’s human nature for people to avoid their problems instead of confronting them.
