Latin American Literature Analysis

This article provides a structural analysis of the characters and the array of themes and images of the lycanthropic tale that inspired the TV series Teen Wolf (MTV, 2011). With structural studies and numerous movies on the werewolf figure in the background, the author seeks to interpret the influence of the werewolf imaginary on teen drama by comparing the typical dynamics of adolescence with themes particular to lycanthropic tales.
