Modern fighter jets vary a lot in weight, range and speed. Fuselage (body ) weights can range from the Northrop F-5 Tiger flown by many air forces in the world at an empty weight of 9,500 pounds, up to typical medium all weather fighters like the F/A -18 at 23,000 pounds or the F-15 at 28,000 pounds. -Possibly the heaviest was the mighty F-14 Tomcat, flown by the US Navy starting with empty weight of 43,000 pounds. - (Empty body weight means no fuel, weapons or crew.)

Were World War 2 fighter planes smaller than modern fighter planes?
You mean were WWII fighters smaller than today's jets; because "modern fighter planes" are jets. Generally yes, today's JETS are much larger than WWII propeller driven airplanes. But there were exceptions, the US WWII P47 Thunderbolt would be much larger than a MiG 17 Vietnam era jet. The largest US single engine JET was the F105 Thunderchief; you could literally walk underneath an F105 jet, while it's parked on the ground.
How are the wings of a fighter jet different from a larger one like a passenger jet or cargo jet?
It's different because the fighter jet is much smaller and only needs a small set of wings. A fighter jets wings are swept back so the jet can efficiently fly at or above the speed of sound. A plane with straight wings will experience turbulence when breaking the sound barrier. Fighters also do not need as much lift from the wings and the fighters have a higher power to weight ratio so the wings can be smaller. Passenger jets and cargo jets are meant for carrying great weights at speeds below the speed of sound so they need as much wing as possible to generate as much lift as possible.
