  'Stock up on silver. Keep to the road. Beware the moon.' Is such a good line

  Werewolves symbolize themes of transformation, duality, and the struggle between human and animal instincts. Popular depictions of werewolves have contributed to their enduring presence in modern storytelling and entertainment.

  If I remember the story of“Bisclavret” correctly, it ends happily. The knight, now stuck as a wolf, returns to the king. The king, unknowing of the wolf’s true form, is very happy to have a tame and loyal wolf as his companion. Eventually, the wolf knight and the king come across the wife of the werewolf, and the wolf attacks her, making her reveal what she’s done. The knight gets to return to human form, and it’s a happy ending.

  Also, I'd argue the Hulk is, at its core, a modern interpretation of the werewolf.

  I took a “Psychology of Horror” class in undergrad. This video reminded me of this class. Horror throughout history reflects human psychology and cultural fears of the times.

  "Societys early attempts to understand brutal crime" That was such an interesting take i havent thought of.

  With the long history of werewolves being male, I greatly enjoy more recent female werewolf characters. Traits like aggression, mood swings, and excessive body hair are often considered unfeminine and undesirable, but that is what a traditional werewolf means. I think that makes it a great premise to explore societal expectations put upon women, and so I really hope to see more stories about female werewolves.

  If ever I need a reminder of humanity’s idiocy, I look to the witch trials

  The power of human imagination is something else.
