by

Humanities

Compared to ghosts, vampires, and zombies it appears as though werewolf films and literature are not as popular. In this discussion you will explore if the werewolf has decreased in popularity and if so why. You should also consider what circumstances could arise that might bring the werewolf back into popular media.

Questions you might consider:

  • Is the werewolf still a monster?
  • What does/can the modern day werewolf represent?
  • How does modern society respond to the “beast within”?
