Amazing piece, thank you for sharing. One bit in particular stuck out: "After all, every werewolf story also ends up with self-imprisonment—ostensibly to protect others, but really so the werewolf can protect itself from the wounds of the world."

I've always seen the story of the werewolf as an allegory for the alcoholic, and your commentary gave me a lot to think about.
