I<span>t provides the example of sweating sickness.
This example shows the reader that there was a disease and cause of death in Elizabethan England that does not still exist to our knowledge today.

In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".
From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.
As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

Arnold and much of England was therefore terrified by this new England and the uncertainty that arose from the great changes that were happening.
