Conclusion
In these three literary works, the image of the wolf is challenged to exist as an isolated form in different fictional spaces. We find that in a more chaotic environment - culture clash, post-war aftermath, or species evolution - the image of the wolf overlaps with the human beings that we are familiar with. The human being becomes the wolf, and the wolf conveys the “inarticulate language” of the human being. Through connecting the fictionalized and real worlds, the clash between the minority and the majority emphasizes the conflict between the modern and the past, between harmony and corruption. Moreover, the fact that the wolf eventually becomes a dog points out that the domestication of mankind has benefited and at the same time eroded the independence and uninhibited nature of this pure wolf species. In reality, advancement is always accompanied by chaos, but the times are always moving forward, so people can only explore the interaction between the non-stop journey of human beings and the animal kingdom through the art of literature, sending out their untouchable laments.
