Analysis of The homicididal monkey
THE HOMICIDIDAL MONKEY
Man is the homicical monkey
His purpose is to exploit the lesser monkeys
And serve the greater!
He is so wild and so viscious
The only way to tame him
Is to give him a gaoler that he can hideously abuse
Woman is the gaoler in the monkey cage
Who willingly goes into the dark with him
Who feeds his rage and fear
This artful gaoler that goes into the darkness alone
And when he does his worst her screams of pain encourage him to redouble his energy
This wolf-monkey in the darkness
And when he has spent himself, like magic she is gone
But he is still there alone in his prison in the darkness
And dead.
