While you watch, think about these questions, then answer them in complete sentences on a piece of looseleaf paper.

1. What do you notice about how the episode is filmed, particularly the choice to not show any characters' faces (besides Rod Serling's as the narrator). Why would the author do this?

2. How does the author show the different points of view of the characters?

3. What is the twist at the end of the episode?

4. What is the author's message (theme)? How do you know?

5.Why is the episode titled, "Eye of the Beholder?"

6. Based on what you already know about the author's message in "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," (espeically Figure 1 and 2's conversation at the end) what do you see as a pattern in The Twilight Zone? What might be the overall purpose of The Twilight Zone series?
