Examples of harmful and monstrous crimes executed and organized by monsters include: societal corruption, murder, exploitation of women, drug trafficking, and manipulation of others, in particular of the men who rank beneath them.Moreover, the mobsters: Al Capone, Carlo Gambino, Lucky Luciano and John Gotti all exude greed and hubris. This exuberance of selfishness contributes to the men's monstrous image because it demonstrates how the mobsters have a disregard for humanity and lack morality. Monsters are not charismatic and moral beings, therefore, the men being so ruthless positions them in the category of monsters. Also, Al Capone, Carlo Gambino, Lucky Luciano and John Gotti each abuse the powergiven to them by being a leader in the Mob by acting irrationally, such as, the power to assassinate anyone. This extreme abuse of power contributes to the perception that mobsters are monsters because it represents an abnormal amount of strength that only a monster can hold.Extreme strength and power as a sign of monstrosity is illustrated in Mary Shelley's, Frankenstein. Shelley's character Frankenstein is the a cultural symbol of monstrosity due to his different appearance and irrational capabilities. For instance, Frankenstein utilizes his abnormally great strength to kill his creator. Like Frankenstein, the mobsters use their extraordinary power and influence to kill whomever they choose. This behavior by the mobsters is barbarous and creates a toxic, dangerous and unsafe society. In all, these behaviors and actions that mobsters repeatedly decide to take have illustrated that the men are immoral and monstrous.
