"I beheld the wretch - the misrable monster I had created." -Mary Shelley The connection between Shelley's quote and Staples' essay is that they're both about stereotypes. The monster and the tall black man are judged just the same. People see them and they get scared and want to run away. When really these characters are the actual victims. People judge them in their appearance rather than who they are, and they're assumption of a stereotype is in fact wrong.
