comparing

It's interesting to see the differences and similarities between "The Tiger's Bride," and "Wolf-Alice." While in the Tiger's Bride, the protagonist starts off human and eventually turns into a tigress after developing sympathy for the Beast, Wolf-Alice is the opposite, as she starts off as an animalistic wolf, and then slowly turns much more human (though not fully there). It is therefore interesting to note how Angela Carter might feel about animals and their relationship with humans, as though in these stories they have reverse transformations, both seem to be out of kindness for the Duke and the Beast.
