The Wolf - Page 3

I think the wolf symbolized Cloud's loneliness and isolation from everyone else. Like the phrase "Lone Wolf". I also think it symbolizes Zack because it first appears next to Cloud's Buster Sword, a sword that was originally Zack's. So I think it represents both Zack and Cloud's loneliness.

well........ i think that it symbolizes Clouds loniliness too. BECAUSE!! in the begining of the movies cloud has isolated himself from his friends he no longer answers the fone! But gradually throughout the movie he slowly lets his friends back in, and at the end of the movie he basically sacrifices himself for his friends and in the vision of him laying down after hes been shot with the wolf over him symbolizes him finally letting his friends back in to his life and he feels relieved of the guilt of Zack and Aeris dieing.
but a wolf also symbolizes

i kind of got curious but then realized that it was more like Zack than either Cloud or Aeris.........

the wolf appeared in most places it kind of got me thinking it was Red but i knew it wasn't. zack was with Cloud and Cloud is supposedly living it out for both of them.

no way it could be Aeris..... she was in most of the white scenes that cloud had in visions.

no way it could be Cloud, he was just councelled by Marlene and Vincent and went into flash backs and white scenes with Aeris' voice in back....... so he wasn't alone........

i say it was Zack's spirit..... plus Zack had black hair and the wolf was Gray.......

I agree. It could be Aerith? Ohh i don't know. I didn't understand why when I watched it lol

I think it is Clods way of emembering Zack and symbolising he is a lone wolf who doesn't want anyones help

Its just part of his design. Doesnt he have it in last order when he is with Zack and before he met Aerith.

heh didn't see this thread anyway

I think the wolf symbolizes Zack's spirit as you mainly see it by the buster sword (which originally was Zack's weapon) so that is my theory

The wolf had always stumped me. I've wondered what it was but I couldnt figure it out. I would like to think its Clouds reason, or will. Everytime Cloud seemed down or beaten the wolf was there.

He was depressed at the site where the Buster Sword was, and the wolf appeared. Then when the Geostigma took him over and knocked him out the wolf was there next to him.

IMO I believe that the wolf is his willpower manifested for us to see. A wolf holds power and will strike when threatened. Same with Cloud. The wolf just seems to be him, in some sort of animal form.

darn i tried to start a thread about this and there already waz one lol. i believed for the longest time that the wolf waz zack but now im beginning to believe that it is like a symbol of the pain and guilt cloud has over lozing aerith and zack and the fact that he acts like a lone wolf
