research plan

I intend to work on the representation of monsters, in specific film, Big hero 6. Firstly, I will define the monsters. The monsters are not particular beasts that we image before. The monsters can be ghosts, leviathons / behemoths—anything from Mothra to Dragons or science fiction related monsters such as artificial intelligence and cyborgs. The main monster I analyze in Big Hero 6 is an artificial robot. The purpose of this literature analysis research will be to explore change of the representation of monsters.

        The purpose of this research is to explore change of the representation of monsters. Hence I will focus on the different representation of the monsters in different time. The central research question is why the change of the representation of monsters takes place. I will try to look for some causes leading to the change of the representation of the monsters. And I want to gather information about the old representation of the monsters and the new representation. I also want to answer what the change of representation of monsters implies or what the meanings of the change of representation of monsters are.

        The method I use is textual analysis. I will analyze some monsters in these films: Edward Scissorhands, Godzilla, Beowulf. I will compare the monsters appearing in these films with Baymax that is the monster in Big Hero 6. From analyzing these different kinds of monsters, I can explore the change of representation of the monsters. Also I will look at other authors’ point about the representation of the monsters. I will search some articles or books in online databases, such as MLA International Bibliography and Academic Search Premier.
