Yes sir I agree wholeheartedly. The entire concept of “dehumanization” of which is another topic for another day. I believe that the evolution of human interest in the “grotesque” stems deep into the theme of “what is it to be human”? A theme that each individual struggles with in the narrative of “man versus himself.”
