Topics in The Wolves of Cernogratz

1

Main Story: Plot and Key Events

  • Conrad asks about old legends attached to the castle.
  • Baroness Gruebel tells a legend that when anyone dies in the castle, dogs and wild beasts howl through the night.
  • The Baroness wrongly believes the legend is false because no howling was heard when the old mother-in-law died in the castle.
2

Characters and Their Roles

  • Conrad is a prosperous merchant and the one poetically-dispositioned member of a highly practical family.
  • Conrad sympathises with the governess and says that the death-music is not to be bought for any amount of money.
  • Baroness Gruebel is practical, doubtful, and dismissive of the legend.
3

Themes and Literary Ideas

  • Family pride is shown through the governess's final acceptance of her identity as a von Cernogratz.
  • Truth versus falsehood is an important theme because the Baroness gives the wrong version of the legend while Amalie gives the correct one.
  • Irony appears strongly in the last newspaper notice, which calls Amalie only a valued friend and hides her true family name.
4

Important Language Points and Vocabulary

  • Wit means clever and often amusing expression.
  • Prim describes someone who is very correct and proper in behaviour.
  • Defiance means open resistance or challenge.
