- Almost all of our assumptions about wolves, and our metaphors involving them, are negative in nature. We view them as vicious, predatory, and savage; even our mildest references portray them as greedy or lecherous. It’s a bit of a shock, then, to go back over the first couple of paragraphs and see them portrayed as gentle, loving, family-oriented, and hard-working, and to find it maintained that these traits are the ones that they admire and prize in one another. The fourth paragraph’s preoccupation with smells is also—to mix our sense perceptions a bit—something of an eye-opener, a painful reminder that we often tend to view ourselves, as both individuals and members of various groups, as representatives of the norm and to locate all negative traits, right down to offensive odors, in others.
