I enjoy reading Le Guin’s ”The Wife’s Story” when I was reading this first paragraph, I was confused when she said about walking in the forest after hunting. But an unexpected twist on the story. She’s a wolf, and her husband is a werewolf but half-human. I was curious about how she didn’t know something or followed her husband and waited so long to find it. Also, a question to Le Guin doesn’t a werewolf have a soulmate? Because when I read fiction stories about a werewolf, they have soulmates, and they smell if they are fully wolfed or not. I enjoy reading this story, although it was confusing but thrilling.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I’m not sure about werewolves having soul mates, but that’s an interesting idea. I do agree and wonder why the wife was not curious enough to find out sooner. She had created a family with the guy, and she just found out about his true form.
Wow, I definitely didn’t catch on to the wife being a wolf and the husband being half human. Now that I think about it, it makes so much sense.
