re: Stranger Things: Season 1 ****SPOILERS**** Discussion Thread

I started thinking about that heavily- I pondered the possibility that the "monster" is El's "id" which was able to manifest itself when she went into the other dimension- perhaps the whole other dimension is a world entirely created by a repressed part of her filled with unimaginable rage and grief.


When she says she is the monster I thought maybe they could betwo sides of the same coin, yin and yang, id and superego- and the only way to ensure the monster does not breach it's way into our world is for her to either remain out of it or destroy herself.
