Talk:Wolves in fiction

Realism

"In the more recent fantasy, wolves are more often portrayed more realistically, one example being Nighteyes from the Realm of the Elderlings books by Robin Hobb, and often they are strongly tied to the main characters in a positive way, like the wolves of Elfquest. In the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, the main noble house of the series, the Starks, have a wolf as their family symbol and adopt a group of young wolf cubs, with each of the Stark children sharing a bond and certain characteristics with their personal cub." I take issue with this section on the supposed recent trend towards realism in the depiction of wolves in fantasy fiction. In the examples given here it isn't a realist depiction of wolf behaviour, the potrayal is more similar to a sidekick archtype or a domesticated dog. Not even wolves who were kept in captivity would behave in such an amicable manner as those in these stories. In some cases, Robin Hobb's books for instance, this can be gotten around by the use of magic - But anyway you look at it, it's not approaching realism. Elmo 22:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Werewolves

I noticed many of the listed references actually refer to werewolves, a subject only marginally related to the topic. Considering there is already an extensive article covering Werewolf fiction I think they should be removed, if no-one objects. Mediatech492 (talk) 23:51, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing titles

the gaurdians of ga'hoole series includes wolves in many of its titles as well as the wolves of the beyond, another series by Kathryn Lasky!
