Conclusion

In summary, the way werewolves are depicted in stories and art has changed a lot over time, showing how people's views and fears have evolved. 

In the early medieval story "Bisclavret" by Marie de France, the werewolf is a noble knight who keeps his human side even when cursed, showing how people back then had a more understanding view of supernatural beings.

 On the other hand, Lucas Cranach the Elder's artwork from a later period shows a werewolf as a wild, dangerous creature. This change in depiction from a respectable character to a scary monster mirrors how society's feelings towards the supernatural shifted from curiosity to fear and suspicion. These changes in werewolf stories reflect larger changes in society and religion during the medieval period, showing how legends and art often mirror the values and worries of the era they come from.
