Facepalm

The point the English professors are making is that the new generation of students see monsters entirely as victims of circumstances.

No, thats the point the Sun (a shit rag of a paper) was trying to get you to think. The professor who made the comment the Sun abused to make a shitty tweet said that students consider it more a creature than a monster, and how it shaped his teaching, and he himself sees the novel as a question of sentience and medical ethics.

It's an ideological belief.

No.
