In stories about monsters, we find the truth about mankind. Such stories reflect our fears about life and death and everything in between. Most of all, they reflect our fears about ourselves. Their habit of telling unpalatable truths does not always win our monstrous reflections much sympathy, yet one monster tends to be cut a little more slack than most—probably because his monstrousness is often not his own fault. Rather, the werewolf tends to be monsterdom’s whipping-boy, the embodiment of a cosmic joke that can best be summarised as “wrong place, wrong time”.
