Abstract
Guillermo del Toro’s films often feature monstrous characters as symbols of humanity, and the paper will show that the prevalent theme in his films is otherness and the unjust treatment of minorities by the perceived majority. This paper will analyse two of his films, Pacific Rim (2013) and The Shape of Water (2017), both of which deal with ecological crises and question social norms. The paper maintains that the monsters both in del Toro’s original work and in its adaptations are always human, and that the two – the human and the monstrous – are inextricably interwoven, and often one and the same. Moreover, the paper will also look at the issue of adaptation and del Toro’s approach to the adaptation process. Both films have official novelizations, and the books approach the source material differently. Whereas Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus’ The Shape of Water (2018) was written with del Toro’s input, Alex Irvine’s Pacific Rim: The Official Movie Novelization (2013) was written more independently, taking a markedly different direction than del Toro’s film version, that is, the source material. Like the aforementioned two films, other del Toro’s works also feature monster characters deeply anchored in humanity and interwoven with it, whose symbolism conveys both a positive message about differences and a cautionary tale about the human origins of the monstrous.
