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,

    In the novel, Briar Rose, Gemma’s suffering was suggested through her behaviour telling Becca the story of Sleeping Beauty that allegorises to her experience during the Nazi regime. Yolen bases Gemma’s story as an allusion to the fairytale, Sleeping Beauty, in order to suggest that Gemma’s past may have been too traumatizing to comprehend. “Bad Fairy, the one in big black boots and silver eagles on the hat.” Alliteration is used to emphasize that Gemma is telling a fairytale where everything isn’t too brutal and traumatic as it is a story for children. This hints to the audience that Gemma’s dark past may have been too disturbing and tragic for the children and herself to This symbolizes to the Nazi’s military uniform in which forebodes to the audience that Gemma’s stories are not just fairytales, but hold a deeper meaning. This creates suspense and curiosity within the readers to further read and discover the reason to Gemma’s suffering.…

    I decided to rewrite the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” because it seemed very fitting in relation to my topic of rape. In the story, Little Red is tricked by a wolf into taking off her red hood that protects her from wolves. She is then attacked by the wolf, and afterwards she runs to the village begging for help. Unfortunately no one will help her; they give the responses countless give to victims of sexual assault, and so Little Red cries. Then a hunter decides to help her and teaches her how to defend herself, they kill the wolf and Little Red is never a victim again. However, unlike this story, most rape victims never receive a happy ending, and never receive justice.…
