Le Guin. Plot summaryWritten in a vernacular first-person narrative, the title character describes her beloved spouse and their idyllic family life in the past tense, except on the nights of the full moon, when he mysteriously disappeared. She then relates the night she witnessed his metamorphosis and screamed in horror, resulting in her family and neighbors chasing and killing him. InterpretationThe story is unusual for its point-of-view: Of the many books and stories on werewolves, few are written from the perspective of other wolves. Le Guin goes to great lengths to conceal the nature of the narrator, fully exploiting the reader's assumptions to purposefully heighten the plot twist at the story's denouement. References
