There was no reasoning, no sense of purpose in it's behavior, just as in so many items on the 10:00 news, or the inanity of "road rage." I say the monster is the embodiment of Man without a sense of morality, compassion and... well, true humanity.

The Cloverfield Monster is... God - I remember a bible verse saying the apocolypse will come as a thief in the night. I feel that the monster could represent the wrath of god upon the wicked and it's omnipotent powers. And to think I'm an atheist! Let me interject my own theory.
