 * Vereaux or Michael Coffee:** These two quotes lead use to the fact that within the story itself, no one can really trust another no matter how long you've been with them or how much you trust them. It builds up to a point to where you can't even trust yourself. "We are all monsters" leads to the fact that because they can't figure out if anyone is a monster in the story, they all must be monsters. The tests they had within the story to find out who is a monster and who is not backfired since the blood of the dog is immune to both human blood and monster blood. Science is a major factor in human life as it is the one thing that explains what is happening around us or it just gives us an idea as to what is going on around us because we still don't know everything that happens within the universe. Science is such a big factor that within the story, if Science can not tell the humans apart from the monsters, then they all must be monsters at least that was the idea by the Doctor. This is such an extreme that you will even begin to doubt that you can trust yourself, leading my explaination to the second quote, "Would I know if I was a monster". Because Science can not tell us, we doubt ourselves and if everyone else is safe around us. The very question of knowing if you were a monster is scary because if Science can not tell you, are you sure yourself that you're human or the monster. You wouldn't actually know if you were the monster entirely because if you were human, there would be no difference to yourself and life goes on. But if you're the monster, the next question would be how can I figure out that I am a monster? Not an easy question to answer. In reality, there is none. The human mind can be tricked in more ways than one such as being fooled into seeing something else through the use of a mirror or picture and being tricked into thinking you're hearing or smelling something else when it's something else entirely. Because it can be tricked so easily, there is a possibility that it could be tricked by the cells of the monster to making you think you're human since every cell acts has its own brain. Instead of tricking, it might even be able to force you to believe you're a human because you are the monster. The last possibility could be that it could just imitate you, meaning you might not be there at all anyway because you wouldn't be needed and so, killed. It is a scary thing to think that you can't even trust yourself or anyone else around you, not even the very thing that you rely on to explain a bit of the universe.
