"Monster," a novel by Walter Dean Myers, was written to explore themes of race, justice, and identity through the lens of a young Black man, Steve Harmon, who is on trial for murder. Myers aimed to shed light on the complexities of the criminal justice system and the impact it has on individuals, particularly those from marginalized communities. The narrative structure, presented as a screenplay, allows readers to engage with Steve's thoughts and emotions, emphasizing his struggle for self-definition in a society that labels him as a monster. Ultimately, the book serves as a powerful commentary on societal perceptions and the inherent biases within the legal system.
