Greetings
Everyone!
When it
comes to Lovecraft's monsters- his extra-terrestrial, terrestrial,
trans-dimensional aliens & his hybrid, degenerative "Others"-
they are meant to be interpreted as actually existing, ontological entities-
they are not meant to be interpreted as tropes, symbols, or metaphors for
something else than what they are.
We must be
remember this, when we see critics interpreting these entities as symbols or
metaphors, which they often do in order to "extricate" Lovecraft's
texts from his own beliefs, views & literary purposes- especially his
racist beliefs-so that they can use Lovecraft's texts to further their own pet
theories & personal, even political, purposes.
Read all
about Lovecraft's monsters- and the likewise ontologically-existent robots
& VR idols- in my second book.
