Ulrich eventually makes the move to end the feud between the families because he:

• feels the same suffering as Georg

• thinks the 2 families can make more money together

• realizes he & Georg are long lost brothers

• believes that they are being hunted by Rainsford

Georg & Ulrich are the story's true interlopers because they:

• try to take ownership over nature

• bring conflict into a peaceful place

• are disrupting the timeline

• act uncivilized towards one another in a civilized place

This image is important to the story's resolution because:

• Wolves are the last things the men see

• The men's feud is compared to wolves

• The men save each other from wolves

• The men's power is compared to wolves
