The Monster is a short story by American author Stephen Crane. It was first published in 1899 and is considered a classic in American literature. The story is set in a small town and revolves around a young boy named Jimmie who is constantly bullied by his peers. One day, Jimmie decides to stand up for himself and gets into a fight with one of the bullies. However, things take a dark turn when the bully is killed in the fight. Jimmie becomes consumed with guilt and fear, believing that he has become a monster. The story explores themes of violence, guilt, and the consequences of actions. It is a powerful and haunting tale that showcases Crane's skill as a writer.Johnson passed through two rooms and came to the head of the stairs. As he opened the door great billows of smoke poured out, but gripping Jimmie closer, he plunged down through them. All manner of odors assailed him during this flight. They seemed to be alive with envy, hatred, and malice. At the entrance to the laboratory he confronted a strange spectacle. The room was like a garden in the region where might be burning flowers. Flames of violet, crimson, green, blue, orange, and purple were blooming everywhere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
