RD Lawerence points out how Norse Germanic mythology tells the story of a huge wolf named Fenris, who was the first son of the satanic overlord Loki (122). The legend of Fenris states that “[he] was so large that when he opened his mouth, his jaws stretched from earth to sky” (Todd 1). According to legend, he "devoured several hundred people before the gods could chain him." (Lawerence 122) This 1000 year old German legend tells us that the wolf eats people mercilessly and is a satanic offspring of the devil. Also consider the very popular fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood”. RD Lawerence states that "the story of Little Red Riding Hood perpetuates a number of myths about wolves" (120). Palamar would agree with this statement about "Little Red Riding Hood," as she believes that in the popular fairy tale, "the wolf is depicted as a tempting, greedy, deceptive killer and eater of little children and old women." women” (4). People who read these stories were amused or understood the point of the story, but they got a completely inaccurate impression of the story.
