Werewolves: A werewolf is a human being who, upon the complete rising of the full moon, becomes a fearsome and deadly near-wolf. This condition is caused by infection with lycanthropy, also known as werewolfry. Werewolves appear in the form of a wolf but, there are distinctions between them and regular wolves. A mixture of powdered silver and dittany applied to a fresh bite will seal the wound and allow the victim to live on as a werewolf, although tragic tales are told of witches and wizards begging for death rather than becoming werewolves. The Wolfsbane Potion, invented by Damocles, allows the werewolf to keep their human mind during transformation. A werewolf cannot chose whether or not to transform and will no longer remember who they are and would kill even their best friend given the opportunity once transformed.

In folklore, a werewolf is a supernatural shape-shifting human, who suffers from this condition after being bitten by another werewolf. The popular film and book series Twilight features a pack of werewolves who can shift from human to wolf and are also known as “Children of the Moon.”

The contrast between the characterization of the grandmother and the child within The Werewolf, by Angela Carter, demonstrates that youthful, virgin woman are of more value than that of older woman.

The fact that the girl chose to fight off the wolf displays her courage and tenacity that the ill grandmother lacks. Instead, beast and cowardly describe the grandmother, as she compares to the wolf. This gives the impression that youthfulness equals strength while adulthood is equivalent to feeble.
