Monsters with Morality

In recent popular literature and entertainment Monsters have made a come back but not in a way we are used to seeing them. Monster's such as vampires, werewolves, wizards, robots and aliens are now the good guys. They live by codes of ethics like humans, they chose right over wrong. This is a far cry from past depictions of monsters, that would hurt and kill without any moral problem with their actions. Vampires were scene as blood thirty killers that would hunt and kill human victims, werewolves could only come out during full moons to stalk their pray. Wizards and witches did the work of the devil. I did not see Harry Potter doing the devils work, he is busy saving all of humanity. What does this switch in roles say about us as a society. Are humans becoming more excepting of things unknown. In the past it was differences that segregated people and our understanding of each other. Now we have become more understanding of differences and encourage unity and tolerance of all races, ethnicity, classes and genders. We have learned so much from each others differences and in my belief it has sparked a greater desire for knowledge of the unknown. With the timing right authors have flooded us with novels about the good monsters and open peoples minds to the concepts that just because they are different doesn't mean they are bad. Often in the past misconceptions led to harsh judgement of the unknown. The fascination with supernatural is no longer built out of fear but of interest in their differences. It may also be an indicator that our morality levels are lowering and many can relate better to monsters. The idea of having negative power and thoughts inside but fighting for the greater goods. What does it say about our culture when we embrace monsters and often can relate better to them then in our own kind?
