A family has been vilified and reproached for years. They are accused of being werewolves and causing misfortune, and due to the society's judgment they are forced to live in isolation. After suffering great losses, the protagonist is driven into a state of rage and "transforms" himself into a werewolf with the help of a dyed sheepskin and a mask.

An interesting early example of lycanthropy as a psychological disorder. Could also be interpreted as an intentional act to seize an opportunity instead of an involuntary delusion: why not try to shed the last remnants of a conventional society and act like a werewolf, when you're already believed to be one? The love aspect might be forced, if it wasn't about finding someone who actually accepts you for who you are, hair and all. The final sentence even has a glimpse of humour.
