    Within the lays of Marie de France, a fascination for both man and beast runs rampant throughout. This focus, however, comes not without its own particular purpose, and indeed, the line between the realms of humanity and savagery is deconstructed with the intent of creating an overlap. One simply cannot exist without the other, and no better is this seen than in “Bisclavret,” the tale of man supposedly cursed with the malevolent affliction of lycanthropy.

For instance, in both versions, Zaroff had never lost a hunt until Rainsford came along. In the written version, Zaroff had killed multiple people in his hunt until Rainsford swam to his island, was challenged, and eventually killed Zaroff, to stop him from his “hunting”. The same idea is applied in the movie.…
