In this repetitive scenario of monstrosity that is explained, what is to be emphasized is the scars left by an event or person, and how prominent they are, as opposed to them actually still being existent, if they do. The reference to the house burning down is to be compared to the monstrous image a person or event may have once assumed. Furthermore, the new and improved image of something that may leave someone mentally scarred or in fear, can never actually rid themselves of what they once were, a fear and traumatic inducing

Within each of these works there is a commonality of how violence transforms a person. Whether it be for the better or worse.  In both the "Charge of the Light Brigade" and Frankenstein in Baghdad we see this type of transformation. Tennyson demonstrates this effect directly on the soldiers in how they are only meant to play the role of the puppet. Sadaawi does the same except instead of the soldier it is the victims of violence and the family members of the soldiers. Both undergo a change occurring from loss and in morals. The morals are reflected in how the Whatitsname's actions are with good intentions but those intentions change from selfless to selfish.

In relation to Toni Morrison’s Beloved, the passage from Frankenstein in Baghdad shows that past traumatic events will always have an affect on a character’s thinking and actions. The monstrosity that is seen in both of these novels always has a reasoning behind it. This is shown in Beloved as Sethe is haunted by her baby that she had to murder as a result of slavery. Beloved is haunting house 124 as revenge for her death. Sethe is constantly reminded of her past, “ravaged by the effects of time” and will never forget her husband or baby that she lost over time. In Frankenstein in Baghdad, the creature is acting to avenge deaths that happened in the past. As a result of war, many innocent people were killed and the creature acts violently to get back at criminals. Whatsitsname justifies his monstrous actions by saying that they deserve death for the pain that they caused others.

In relation to the "Charge of the Light Brigade" the passage from Frankenstein in Baghdad reflects the violence brought on by war. However, this is another form of violence. Sadaawi illustrates how the women left behind are "ravaged by the effects of time" and are even more so when struck with "the realization that they would never again see the missing faces they remembered so well" (54). This here is an example of violence found in mourning. In Tennyson's poem we see direct violence of inevitable death, but Sadaawi expands the effects of violence in how it is indirect. The women are suffering because of the war and struggle to let go of those lost from it. The ways in which they cling to the memories of their loved and the process in how they grieve is a form of violence within itself.

"Not many people came back looking the same as when they left...[like] women [that are] ravaged by the effects of time and by the realization that they would never again see the missing faces they remembered so well" (54).

When a person takes on monstrous characteristics it is easy for them to lose their sense of self. Especially when a war is taking place, monstrous actions can easily be “justified” by those who feel that are doing what's best for the majority. While someone may think they are doing the right thing, they are actually just fitting the description of a monster by acting on hate.

Through all the violence that occurs during the time of war the nature of people and their actions are altered. It is this idea that displays how the justification for actions falter in which is the must justified. For ultimately we grow corrupt and change from innocent bystanders to destructive beings.

From the perspective of that of a monster, identity is everything, and quite possibly the only thing. Image and identity is what makes a monster a monster, what deems them as an outcast. In tying into this passage, a monster is left with the worry of how they were given a monstrous identity, and are then left to think of ways to rid themselves of it. Only to discover that they still may never accomplish that, simply because they are who they are, and things cannot be undone.

"The Charge of The Light Brigade" illustrates the falsity in the misconception behind the understanding of honor and bravery. The soldier when facing battle— "their's not to make reply...not to reason why...but to do and die"— must follow orders and do nothing more. There is a false sense in how the means of sacrifice is from the basis of restricting the free will of the soldier. The closer we examine the action and duties of the soldier, we are given view of a cruel system in which we reward those who act as a mindless meat puppet. The focus of war has shaped the way I view literature in seeing the permanent effects it has on the past, present, and future. That everyone is harmed and lied to, for it is not only the soldier that faces the bitter end of this violence.

“I was talking about time. It's so hard for me to believe in it. Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to think it was my rememory. You know. Some things you forget. Other things you never do. But it’s not. Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, its gone, but the place--the picture of it--stays, and not just in my rememory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. I mean, even if I dont think it, even if i die, the picture of what i did, or knew, or saw is still out there. Right in the place where it happened.”
