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. Still, Marie does not include this lay just for the sake of the supernatural. The title’s namesake is meant to work as a symbol, with his existence as neither a man nor a beast, but rather, as a tangible blend of the two in one being.…

Though a Victorian woman was to remain in the home, she could express herself through singing, weaving, and other artistic outlets. As Greenblatt expresses, “Victorian society was preoccupied not only with legal and economic limitations on women’s lives, but with the very nature of woman” (1957). Furthermore, society expected women to remain obedient, while appearing inferior to their husbands, just as Linda Gill expresses by saying, “A woman’s power was very limited, and her subjectivity was only granted if it were appropriatable by and contained within traditional and patriarchally determined narrative structures” (111).
