The present article is an example of a usual – comparative – approach to the text. The comparative method gives the researcher a great opportunity to rediscover a text through the other one, to see behind a literary image (e.g. the wolf) a certain poetical perspective that descends from the common myth of lycanthropy. Andrei Turcanu and Victor Munteanu in their poems propose a world of the turnskin, the mythical spirit of liberty and revolt, which represents an escape from the depressing existence. The writers build the stories from memories of their childhood and harsh realities of the Present. The wolf, the werewolf, denotes a plural metaphor of the human, which was metamorphosized into an animal in a bestial kingdom (an apostate world of political and spiritual crash). The wolf symbolizes the initiating knowledge, the desire to exceed the limits but also is the Dacian symbol of courage.
