Two Wolves

Explain the meaning behind the title Two Wolves. What do the wolves represent? How does Ben’s anxiety about the wolves shift throughout the narrative?

How do you see Ben changing as a character over the course of the novel? In what specific ways are his personality, opinions, and values different at the end of the novel versus the beginning?

Two Wolves frequently opens its chapters in the middle of the action, allowing the reader to figure out what’s happening as the chapter goes along. Why did Bancks choose to use this technique? How does starting in media res benefit the novel, and how does it detract?
