Teacher reteach:
The main conflict, Ulrich's and Georg's hatred for one
another, puts them in a bind. Their misfortune causes them
to realize their foolishness. The approaching wolves don't
care.
Evaluate what effect the setting has on the characters
and on the mood of the story.

Teacher reteach:
The harsh setting reflects the harsh feelings of the two men.
It forces each man's character change and each man's
impending doom.
