The Wolf Destiny, perhaps from the very beginning, claimed the wolf as a symbol. Has any other animal stirred human passions the way the wolf has? Its haunting howl, its incredible stamina, its brilliant eyes, and its superiority as a predator all have been reviled as nefarious, and even demonic, traits. Ironically, these same characteristics have also been revered as belonging to a majestic, and sometimes spiritual, creature - a symbol of the magnificent, untamed wilderness. In truth, the wolf is neither evil nor exceptionally good - neither demon nor god. Wolves are simply predators. Their role as a predator must not be reduced, however, to that of savage killer. Wolves, like humans, need to eat to survive. In this process, wolves also provide a service: they help preserve nature's delicate balance by keeping herds of deer, elk, moose, and other large mammals in check, as well as keeping these populations strong and genetically viable by preying on the weak and sick. Both the idealized wolf and the demonic wolf are creations of the human mind. It is not easy to transcend the image of the Big Bad Wolf that has filled our myths and legends, but if we know only this wolf we do not truly know the wolf at all. And what we do not know, we fear. Our fear is perhaps the greatest threat to the survival of the wolf, for it causes us to react rather than act, to repel rather than respect. But this fear and hatred did not always separate man and beast Man the hunter once looked on the wolf the hunter with admiration. Man and wolf both used their keen intelligence to overcome the disadvantages they faced in their day-to-day existence. Survival for both was enhanced by hunting and living in groups or packs. And, at one time, the chance of survival for each was also increased by following, learning from, and adapting the skills of the other to its own advantage. As long as man's daily living was earned primarily as a hunter, he knew a respect for wolves, and coexistence was relatively peaceful. Eventually, man and wolf took up together in a process of domestication that brought a different meaning to their coexistence. Even while those early ancestors of man's best friend enjoyed this new relationship, the wolves that did not come in from the cold were beginning to be cast in a different and less favorable light, for the dog was not the only animal toward whom man turned his attention in the early days of animal husbandry.

Wolf is a five foot ten inch, tan skinned brute. His height is not at all the most striking characteristic of the captain. His amazing muscular build and strength rival that of an enlarged gorilla. In fact, the author repeatedly compares Wolf’s immense strength with that of a wild animal. The name London gives him is perfect to describe his nature. It is this godlike ability to kill anyone with his bare hands that keeps the crew in fear of him. There is a scene in the book where the crew atte...

Over the past several hundred years, werewolves have been an important part of Western Cultures. Werewolves have appeared in blockbuster movies and been the subject of countless books and stories. Werewolves are dark and powerful creatures that terrify us on multiple levels. While they are some of the most violent and merciless monsters that horror has to offer, there is something about the werewolf that we can identify with.

The werewolf symbolizes the evil that is contained within us all. In this paper, I will explain the different evils that werewolves symbolize by taking a critical look at the real life history of the werewolf, the werewolf in literature and film, and the opinions of experts on the topic.
Shadow the Wolf sprinted from the dark Pine Forests, her kingdom. She and the other Kings of the Beasts needed to get to the shores of the Eastern Waters. The old King of the Orcas was under attack by his own people. And they needed to get there fast. Shadow the Wolf’s paws beat the ground and her tail swished the air. She could sense the battle raging. Other paws hit the hard packed earth. Shadow the Wolf’s pack of black wolves were running behind her. They’re very loyal. Shadow the Wolf thought, smiling.

The need to control nature is a human instinct that has done more harm than...
“The transformation of the United States from a rural into an urban society helped save wolves from extinction,” as urbanized development separated what was once an existential threat to farmers into a removed idea, leading state and the federal governments with greater responsibility to wolf eradication and other forms of regulation. “Instead of vengeful farmers with their pit traps or local nimrods with their hounds and axes, degree-toting bureaucrats hired professional wolf killers to deliver the final blow,” as the wolf populations grew smaller and smarter, making local wolf hunters an outdated option for curbing the livestock thieves. As Coleman notes, the government employees charged with this once-localized task are educated and professionals, transferring the idea of game regulation from one of survival necessity to one of hierarchal responsibility. This shift brought along a new idea of the predators as “laudable vermin”, an effort on the part of the government regulators “to make their department look good, and, by infecting wolf lore with nostalgia, the government men began to erode the cultural consensus that underwrote Americans’ loathing of wolves.” Culture change provided opportunity for political cohesion between the state
