From the ecocritical perspective, with the reference to ecological ethics, this paper explores the ethical meanings and views of nature embodied in “werewolf” in Angela Carter’s short story “The Company of Wolves”. This paper analyzes the construction of the werewolf’s ethical identity, the reconstruction of human–animal ethics and finally the ecological integration of nature and culture. Through the analysis of the werewolf and its relationship with humans and nature, this study reveals the complex intertwining of animal and human emotions and ethical identities. This paper aims to reveal how Carter, through fairy tale rewriting and literary experimentation, rethinks the ethical positions of humans, animals, and nature, which presents an ecological ethical imagination that transcends anthropocentrism.
