WTH WTH that was my initial reaction while reading the Bisclavret.The story shows how unfaithful , insensitive and selfish people can be. It is very absurd that Bisclavret wife would use the knight and prostitute herself just to get her dirty work done. I find it disturbing that she has recognized that her husband goes missing every week for three days with no one knowing where he is. But instead of showing compassion and care she decided to prostitute herself because she doesn’t want to be with him anymore. Her and the knight behavior showed that neither of them cared about Bisclavret well-being . However, at the end of the story both Bisclavret ex-wife and the knight had to pay for their inhumane actions. Not only them but also their children because they ended up having noseless children. This story illustrated that one’s action not only affect their lives but also those around them . And whatever you partake in now will come back to you in the future!
