The werewolf as a symbol in Stephen King's IT, a ramble

A fascinating detail from the book I haven't seen anyone talk about is how the symbol of the werewolf appears not just for Richie, but for Patty Uris.

In her appearance in chapter 3, Patty describes the discrimination she has faced as a Jewish person, the expectations that has been put on her by her parents and herself to be successful and 'Normal,' and how the fear has lingered despite her comparatively happy life.

As a teenager she and her date were barred from attending prom for being Jewish, and the details of this event are seared painfully in her mind. The click of her heels on the ground, the sound of onlookers laughing at her, and the dress her mother said made her look like a "Mermaid."

She thinks of the idea of being a Jewish mermaid as ridiculous. Though i am uncertain if this is due to a contrast between a generally loved fairytale being and the perception of Jewish people, or comparison between this perception and the non-human-ness of mermaids. Regardless, the thematic idea of mermaids is strong: to a be a being caught between two worlds, partly a person, and partly an inhuman creature. In common stories, mermaids appear to sailors only showing their upper halves, and so are able to lure them to grisly ends. Already I would say that the mermaid can be compared to the werewolf in it's connotations.

Stanley, who remembers the most out of the losers (aside from Mike) buys books by Bill Denbrough, aware that they were childhood friends. Patty immediately dislikes the novels, considering them frightening and in bad taste.

Though she points out a particular one with anger: a book about werewolves.

Here Patty uses the werewolf as a symbol for the discrimination and fear she has experienced. She may try desperately to conform to the social standards set for her, to become successful, happy and 'Normal,' but the fear of being targeted always exists. This is expressed through her constant worries that others are gossiping about her and her husband, and that their safety and security will be compromised for being Jewish.

And so she thinks of Bill Denbrough and his book with derision, because in her eyes he is a man with no troubles and at the top of the social hierarchy (a view that is mostly true, Evil Space Clown and Childhood Trauma aside), and could never understand the experience of being a symbolic werewolf. Something seen as dangerous, monstrous and inhuman, and something that must hide and pretend, that lives in constant fear of it's own exposure.

And while I foremost wanted to discuss Patty Uris, I also think this is a useful detail to think about when it comes to Richie's werewolf. As stated before, Stephen King has established the werewolf through Patty as: Something seen as dangerous, monstrous and inhuman, and something that must hide and pretend, that lives in constant fear of it's own exposure. And furthermore connected it with experience of being a minority facing discrimination.

And so it is interesting to look at the connection between Richie Tozier and his own werewolf. What is the monster he is so afraid others will see him as? Neither Richie or King himself gives us any concrete answers.

Personally I think that Richie's position as a young boy with visible differences/disability, such as his glasses/poor eyesight (something he attempts to hide as an adult) and complicated behaviourial issues, that are likely undiagnosed ADHD, are strong factors. As someone who similarly grew up with undiagnosed ADHD, I can attest to a strong feeling of being "too much" and distinctly abnormal, something that has bordered on monstrous or alien.

Queerness, in terms of being Bisexual/Gay is also a good fit within his story. His relationship with Eddie and how the Werewolf itself ties into the long history between movie monsters and Queerness is well discussed. Bisexuality especially, can be easily matched to the duality of the werewolf and I personally interpret Richie as such.

But regardless, Richie is shown to put facades up in front of most of his genuine emotions, and is described as confusing by many characters, including his own mother. He is a teller of half-truths and of course, a performer at heart. And in some ways, through his concealment of his inner thoughts to the reader, seems almost aware of his status as a book's narrator.

--

Yeah, so werewolves are a really fun symbol and creature, and I just wanted to blabble (:

There are lots of other great analyses of Richie Tozier's Werewolf on Tumblr, especially ones that delve deeper into queer interpretation, so I recommend you search for them if ya like this sort of thing.

Or just check out any of the posts on @reddieanalysis. Lots of fun stuff for the literary analysis nerd who is also head over heels for those clown fighting boyfriends.

Why are people fighting about Richie’s sexuality again?!?

Please grow up and realize that people can HC him however they want because news flash in the original book the man is straight…. The biphobia I’ve been seeing is crazy and hate is the last thing we need right now.

Richie can be gay

Richie can be bi

Richie can even be trans or nonbinary

if it brings people joy, why take that away from them???

#like I personally HC him as bi and you don’t see me bashing everyone who hcs him as gay #this is getting annoying #can’t we just all agree that he has feelings for Eddie and move on?!?#I’m so sick of seeing the biphobia #it hurts #like who hurt you for you to just hate on bisexuals #the losers club #it stephen king #richie tozier #eddie kaspbrak #stanley uris #ben hanscom #bill denbrough #beverly marsh #mike hanlon #rant post

I've always loved Richie since the first time I watched IT but as I rewatch that and the 2nd movie I relise why

I have always had dark and dirty humor not to mention dark curly hair and glasses, but I had a crush on one of my best friends growing up. She was straight and ended up deserting me so I never got to tell her how I felt

I think I relate to all the losers in different ways but thats for another post

If you want to know more just put it in my asks

What do you think?

Before anyone gets pissed (cause there are people like that) this is just for fun and something fun to post on pride month.

I personally head cannon that Richie is bi while Eddie is Gay . I think Eddie only married a woman to convince himself that he’s Straight. While that could be true for Richie and his jokes about Women (specifically Eddie’s mom) To me Rich just gives That Bisexual Vibe. I will post more head cannons and I’m posting a Byler edit later today.

In honor of it being pride month and me being gay here are losers head canons that align with either mine or my friends identities/experiences :P

Starting off strong with genderqueer Stan. Stan was like I’m not a man or a woman but I do not have the decisiveness to know anything other than that (cause same)

Bill, Beverly, and Richie are all bisexual and they fight over the title of bi disaster of the friend group

Mike is ace but constantly questions himself because he knows that a asexuality is a spectrum so he’ll at anytime be like nope sex still doesn’t seem right thanks

Did Eddie buy a pride flag? Yes. Did he also hide said pride flag under his bed an entire year so his mom didn’t find out about his closeted ass? Yes again

Bev rates clothing stores pride collections and takes minimum one loser with her to model clothes for her review posts. (+when Richie tags along he without fail buys the tackiest clothing item in the collection)

Ben didn’t realize he liked individuals other than women until he was out of college so he thought it would be impossible to find any guy who would like him since he’d only ever been with girls. (+this proves to be untrue seeing as he’s hot, romantic, and successful, he pulls)

Richie was Stan’s gay awakening (I head canon they’re pan but yk) and they will forever be ashamed of this

It doesn't matter what the context of Mike Wheeler getting Vecna'd would be, to me it's just paralleling the "I know your secret, your dirty little secret" scene from the homophobic clown movie.
