Rod Serling's The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

Rod Serling’s message to the watchers of “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” is that fear is the worst enemy of humans. The theme begins to appear in the story when there was a big flash everyone thought that it was a meteor and then one of the wife's said to close for my money, much to close. That then gets the power failure, witch then gets everyone out of there house. One example is that in the text it says, “Electricity's off. Phone won't work. Can't get a thing on the radio. My power motor won't move, won't work at all. Radio's gone dead.” everyone said that and then people got scared and didn't know what to do. That shows that when something they didn’t know happened the got scared and didn’t know who to blame or how to fix it. They then started to blame each other that they were aliens because of what a little boy said. They just want it to be over and thought that blaming someone or something would stop everything. …show more content…
