The characters are what helps give this show strong a strong presence.

Every viewer has a favorite character.

 

Who is yours?

                                                             Why?

What is so special about them?

A viewer has to be able to relate to the characters and Teen Wolf makes this possible through the particular relationships, hardships, and changes that every character goes through.



Character of the Week:

Scott McCall

Scott is played by Tyler Posey. This character has been the protagonist from the pilot episode and has gone through some major changes in the episodes following.

 

At the beginning of season 1, Scott was an outsider in high school with asthma trying to make starter on the lacrosse team but one night changed his life and he was bitten.

 Werewolf.

Scott's world is turned upside down and his best friend Stiles does his best to help get him through it.

Over time Scott mastered his new abilities with the help of Derek Hale a born werewolf with all the answers.

Scott has embraced his werewolf side and changed throughout seasons.

Through pure heart, Scott has transformed

                                     becoming a

True Alpha.

While season 3 is still airing on MTV, it will be interesting to see the new turns he takes with his new standing among the other werewolves. 

The Human Mind

Teen Wolf takes viewers through a specific part of the human mind, pushing them to examine dreams vs. reality.

The character Stiles Stilinski evolves every episode of the show, but this third season has been a breakthrough for the character on a whole new level.

 

 

Actor Dylan O'Brien brings the character Stiles to life and has been pushed this season from a funny sidekick to a more serious and dramatic role.

How will Stiles' mind affect him next?

This video shows Stiles' dynamic struggles with reality and dreams. The viewers watch as he goes through different stages that affect his body and mind.

Teen Wolf touches on issues that can be experienced outside of the shows world. Panic attacks, blackouts, anxiety, sleepwalking, dreams and even frontotemporal dementia find a way into the show.

Viewers are able to relate to Stiles through the variety of issues he is struggling to overcome. His fight against these problems and how he works through them can be beneficial to viewers.

Witnessing someone's struggles, how they deal with that, the solutions and support systems display solutions for those of us who may be going through similar ordeals.

Everyone can experience a darkness, a flare in imagination whether it be good or bad, but how do we stay grounded through tough times?

At what point does a person lose their mind?

The loss of a person's mind is an interesting idea that writer and producer Jeff Davis plays with throughout the third season which is still airing new episodes.

The television show Teen Wolf has specifically captured my attention. The show is now finishing up a third season and has continued to not only surprise but impress me with the execution of both story and film elements.


Teen Wolf is not only exciting to watch but conveys valuable information to the viewer in interesting ways. I hope to achieve an analysis of Teen Wolf by looking at as well as discussing the ways it uses certain elements and how they have evolved over the seasons.


Television has permanently secured a spot in my life by becoming my daily escape. I have always been interested in the different ways of telling stories and the way we can arrange words, and images to create those stories.


Teen Wolf grabbed my interest because of the intricate story line, the characters and the mythological elements that unfold on screen.


I am currently getting a bachelor's degree in English with a concentration in writing and a film studies minor that I believe helps me greatly when analyzing what is put on screen. I hope to achieve the goal of becoming a screenwriter for television after I graduate college this May and analysis television is a huge part of that journey.


I would love for viewers of the show to help me analyze the technical aspects I post on. This would help me to learn what a viewer enjoys or what they think doesn’t work in the show. The opinions of others will give me a basis for when I begin writing on my own.
