The Werewolf Key Quotations
- “they have cold weather, they have cold hearts” - (setting is used to reflect the unforgiving
nature of the religious people living there - religious criticism?)
- “a crude icon of the virgin” - (crude implies makeshift or lacking finish, suggesting religion is
-
falling apart)
“the Devil is as real as you or I” - (devil is within everyone - beast within - extreme superstition)
“the Devil holds picnics in the graveyards and invites witches … Anyone will tell you that
...
” - (simple short sentence, matter of fact, happens all the time)
“do not leave the path” - (path represents safety and the conventions of society)
“take your father’s hunting knife; you know how to use it” - (gender boundary transgression independence)
“seize her knife” - (becomes ‘her’ knife not her ‘father’s’ showing ownership and independence)
“the wolf let out a gulp, almost a sob” - (sympathy for the wolf, we view the girl slightly
negatively)
“make the old woman a cold compress” - (maternal instinct shows caring nature)
“a hand toughened with work and freckled with old age” - (traditional life where women worked
in the house etc… something which Carter wants to move away from and women can do much
more than manual work)
“there was a wedding ring on the third finger” - (can’t function anymore without the bond to a
man, criticism of the patriarchal way of life for a woman)
“bloody stump” - (horror)
“beating her old carcass” - (dehumanised woman, criticism of what she represents? - religion/
patriarchy etc…)
“the child lived in her grandmother’s house; she prospered” - (new independent, younger
woman takes the place of the older woman to push society on for success, the older
generations won’t fulfil this role - crude short sharp sentence enforces harsh reality)
