This comparative study looks into the image of the wolf in Genghis Aitmatov’s Plakha and Jack London’s White Fang. For this purpose, first, the concept of the wolf in fiction is discussed, and the representation of wolves in these two texts is analyzed. This study explores the relationship between wolves and human beings as expressed in the texts in a way that helps understand the image of the wolf with specific cultural beliefs and practices that find aspirations in the text mentioned. The study concludes that Aitmatov associates Kazakh people with the wolf, unlike London’s wolf, whose existence does not center around issues of freedom and independence.
