Bisclavret

About “Bisclavret”

"Bisclavret" is one of the twelve Lais of Marie de France, written in the 12th century. The story follows a knight who is transformed into a wolf by his wife's betrayal. The tale has similarities to the Lay of Melion and may have influenced later works, such as Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, where a character named Sir Marrok experiences a comparable transformation. The narrative reflects themes of loyalty, betrayal, and transformation found in medieval literature. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
