CHARACTERS
-LRRH (the child): Main character-the PROTAGONIST (the one on whom the N focuses his attention the most and the one who is confronted with difficulties or has to face the conflicts, set either by another character, he himself, or by some external factor). There’s no evidence of name for the child in the story. This girl struggles firstly to defeat the wolf in the forest and then at her grandmother’s house she realises that her grandma is a witch. But then when I think of the title Werewolf, there’s a kind of ambiguity, because if the child is the one on whom the narrator focuses his attention the most the title apparently doesn’t fit much with the way in which the story is narrated. Thus, this deliberate ambiguity on the narrator’s part frames Carter’s exploration on the werewolf-like metamorphic quality of both the heroine and the story itself (http://theknifeisclean.wordpress.com/essays/angela-carters-the-werewolf/ 5th paragraph)
CHARACTERIZATION
Through action:
- BRAVE: When she heard that freezing howl of a wolf, she dropped her gifts, seized her knife and turned on the beast.
-RESOLUTE: It went for her throat as wolves do,
