Bisclavret is anything but a beast. While his wife makes the argument that he is endangering her,
she has no circumstantial evidence to back up these absurd accusations. He was clearly able to
conceal himself for along time without incident. His wife, nor anyone else for that matter,
previously filed claims against him. She fails to provide solid grounds for him ever being
aggressive towards his wife. Bisclavret has no evidence proving guilt. Let’s take this quote from
that text, "For three whole days in every week her lord was absent from her side. She knew not
where he went, nor on what errand. Neither did any of his house know the business which called
him forth." This verifies that the secret was meant to be hidden, yet now Bisclavret is assumed a
monster without any true reasoning.
Pathos
Once again, Bisclavret, is not some beast. Beasts lack empathy. They are soulless and hollow.
They take pride in harming others. Bisclavret, isn’t like this. In the story, Bisclavret is shown to
love his wife, that is, before she heartlessly betrayed him. As stated by the text, "This baron was
wedded to a very worthy dame, right fair to see, and sweet of semblance. All his love was set on
her, and all her love was given again to him." Also, the baron was a loyal man who loved his
lord greatly. All he wanted to do was serve him. A quote that proves Bisclavret was kind and not
a monster is this one, ‘None had reason to do him wrong, for ever was he about his master, and
for his part did evil to none. Every day were these two companions together, and all perceived
that the King loved him as his friend." The King would have never let Bisclavret be his friend if
he was a vicious and cruel monster.

Ethos
Bisclavret is not a monster but a man of high esteem. He an honorable man, well revered
amongst his friends and fellow knights. This is the quote to prove it, "He was a stout knight, and
a comely, and a man of office and repute. Right private was he to the mind of his lord, and dear
to the counsel of his neighbors." Furthermore, Bisclavret was a righteous husband. He stayed
with her for some time and he would not conflict any harm on her. He displayed his role as a just
husband through the honest sharing of his secret about his transformation into a werewolf to his
wife. However, His wife failed to return this trust by betraying him. He himself said, "Wife, I
become Bisclavaret. I enter in the forest, and live on prey and roots, within the thickest of the
wood." This proves his whole-hearted honesty and trust he had for his wife.
