Working Title: Monsters in the Fictional Fantasy Society
Working Thesis: The paper focuses on the roles of werewolves in the society of fictional fantasies.
Background: When I was growing up, and until now, I have heard numerous stories and watched movies about werewolves. Some films portray hybrid humans who can transform themselves into werewolves. One thing I have observed from how werewolves behave in movies is that they go in packs. Every pack has a leader who protects all members of the pack, and when conflicts arise, they address them together. The werewolf tradition has been exemplified in numerous novels in fictional fantasies, and it makes those narratives interesting to read. In some novels and movies, werewolves are presented as dangerous monsters. In others, they are peacemakers, and their presence indicates sympathy. In some cases, werewolves are shape-shifters who safeguard the society of fictional fantasy. For instance, some movies depict numerous monsters, but werewolves appear to be the only species that eliminate the danger in society. Werewolves bite and kill the enemy. In most cases, werewolves assume secondary characters in movies and stories. They present a united pack mentality and image of violence, which is more beast or harmful than human. However, the fascinating thing about these creatures is that they do not bite everyone and are peaceful. They become violent when provoked. In some stories, werewolves act as agents of growth. In that light, since I have read and watched numerous films about werewolves, I aim to understand how werewolves are important in the society of fictional fantasy. I like fictional fantasy and knowing the roles of these creatures is crucial to me. I want to comprehend the different roles that werewolves play and explore their meaning. That is why I chose the topic of werewolves' roles in the society of fictional fantasy.

Fantastic metamorphosis is a crucial ideology to teach young adults and children about significant transformations in life. Specifically, fantasy literature is crucial since it symbolizes change, which is an essential part of human life. For instance, childhood, maturation, adolescence, and adulthood are important stages of life that might be challenging for children and young people to understand. However, fantasy literature enables young individuals to know about werewolves and other creatures that signify role and body transformations. For example, the articles depict that there exist sympathetic, idealized, multicultural, and monstrous werewolves. These different types of werewolves portray distinctive characteristics and behaviors that act as lessons for young people. For instance, monstrous werewolves are harmful and bite humans even for no good reason. Similarly, young individuals understand that some situations have adverse consequences in life, and nothing can be done to change reality. As such, the best thing t...
