He was the 1st person to be accused becuase his car abruptly started
In Act 1 of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," the residents of Maple Street begin to single out Les Goodman after a series of mysterious power outages and strange occurrences. They notice that Les, who has been seen working on his car at odd hours, is different from them and becomes suspicious of his late-night activities. Fueled by fear and paranoia, the neighbors question his actions, leading to accusations that he may be an alien or responsible for the disturbances. This scapegoating reflects the broader theme of how fear can lead to irrational behavior and the breakdown of community.

The protagonist of the teleplay, The Monsters are Due on Maple Street, are actually the aliens or as Rod Serling refers to as Figure one and Figure 2. This is because the humans are the antagonists. The humans are the antagonists because Rod Sterling tries to hint that humans could become evil because of their minds and their false accusations. -Ms Aieta
Oh, dude, so apparently the Maple street neighbors are side-eyeing Les Goodman because he's been watering his plants at midnight. I mean, who does that, right? Like, I get it, it's a bit weird, but hey, maybe he just likes to keep his plants hydrated in the moonlight. Can't blame a guy for wanting his begonias to thrive, right?
he blames Steve because he thinks that he was also the one who was working on that ham radio set. The big reason for support was that no one knew about that HAM? radio set
Les Goodman was born in 1950.
because he is
Les Maple Leafs de Toronto. It's a sports team, so you wouldn't do a full translation (les feuilles d'erables de Toronto).
Mahogany, maple and the fretboard has rosewood too.
les nombres (math), les numéros (telephone, street address)
"Nightmare on elm street" is "Les griffes de la nuit"
After Les Goodman's car starts by itself, the neighbors conclude that he must be involved in some sort of supernatural or nefarious activity. They suspect that his strange behavior and the mysterious starting of his car indicate that he is not like them and may pose a threat to the community. This suspicion ultimately escalates their fear and paranoia, leading to their decision to ostracize him.
