| I've been thinking more about why Leah is a werewolf and other women are not. In many native cultures there exists people who are two-spirited, that is they have both a female and a male spirit even though their bodies may have only one gender. This is completely different from being gay or transgendered, but it would mean that she has a male spirit in her as well. Since the wolves are how the male spirits look, this makes sense to me. (Although I don't know if this is what Stephenie had in mind).
My friends think I'm nuts for this theory. |
