After reading “The Poetry of the Werewolf” I began to wonder who was really wrong, the wife or Bisclavaret. This question pits the wife against Bisclavaret. I believe Bisclavaret was the one who was betrayed, hurt, abandoned and forgotten by his dear wife. His wife was largely to blame, although she was afraid that her decision was based only on emotions/pathos and no ethos or logos was used in the decision. Say no to plagiarism.

Get an original essay "The Lay of the Wear-Wolf" is about a married man and his wife who separate after he tells her his secret. The husband, Bisclavaret, is a werewolf who goes out three nights a week at a time so that his wife doesn't get scared. When his wife questioned him about his absences, he was afraid that she would leave him, so he told her the truth, that he was a werewolf. The idea of her husband being a werewolf scared her and so she cheated on him by taking the change of clothes that transformed him back into a human. After betraying him and his love, she left Bisclavaret and married another man. One day, the king went hunting, found Bisclavaret and welcomed him. When Bisclavaret's ex-wife's new husband arrived at the castle, Bisclavaret attacked him. Subsequently, the wife went to the castle to speak with the king and was brutally attacked by Bisclavaret. After the accident, they found out that he might be a human and gave him his clothes. Once he was human again he explained his situation. The story shows how Bisclavaert was betrayed by his love. His wife made a choice that was not based on logic or ethics. She made him go through such a hard and painful time just because she didn't like his secret. No one deserves to be treated in such a horrible way that they lose everything they loved and possessed, just because the wife was afraid that her husband was a werewolf. In conclusion, the choice his wife made to take his clothes and force him to remain a werewolf was a bad decision and should not have been decided by his emotions. It caused him a lot of pain and suffering. I defend Bisclavaret because he was forced into a position he couldn't control. The only thing he could be blamed for was telling his wife his secret.
