Imagery
The videotaping of werewolves by Edward Monk paints a picture of transformation. The images show that when werewolves go to the forest, they transform into wild animals, but when they return home, they transform into humans.

Parallelism
There is a parallelism between the adoptive parents' warning against the siblings showing their natural powers and Monk's assertion that Tora is not human.
