You can't have a scene full of dead people with nothing moving. Either the camera has to move or there has to be something in the frame moving. Otherwise it just looks like a still and the emotional impact is lessened. To me it's like the old Western movies where there are dead people and you have something like a windmill creaking and spinning, and some dead guy's hat blows off, and then a tumbleweed blows by. You have to have movement in the scene or it just falls flat. Other than that: A big ol' fluffy wolf is out of place in a town because civilization keeps them away. So to me it symbolizes a breakdown in society if anything.

One of my majors in undergrad was English and I've never stopped enjoying the word created picture. I remember my first visceral awareness of allegory and symbolism in 7th grade on reading Of Mice and Men. I enjoyed your interpretation of wolf as contrast and found it to be credible.
