Were's: Thought of as a person who can change into an animal, but are they real?
Were's are something that are again found in many belief structures. The most common of which is the werewolf. Werewolf stories have been documented all over the world, most commonly in Eastern Europe. The belief that one can change, or has no choice but to change, into an animal is based upon a person's willingness to show their darker side. The "beast" of human nature, so to say. There is a common fear of this. That if one would give into their animal instincts, then they are no better than the beasts around them. But every once in a while there is an urge to harm another human being, for one reason or another. Isn't it easier to blame a beast? Were's are the reflection of what a human being can be, or is. It is a way to personify feelings of anger, and the way a person expresses the anger. I have heard from several friends, that when they get angry they are no longer themselves, that it's like they become a beast.
