Reply To: Who is the grey wolf in this novel? Who is the black wolf? Are you sure?
Like so many of you all have noted, I too think there are several grey wolves and several black wolves in the book because a number of characters who are revealed to be the opposite “wolf” than we initially think they are.
One of the most interesting grey wolves is Jeanne Caron. She’s right away set up as a black wolf for her past actions towards Gamache and Daniel. But by the end of the book it’s revealed she made a choice to be a grey wolf.
Frere Sebastien appears to be a grey wolf through the book but then it’s revealed he’s a black wolf. Same with David Lavigne.
We never meet the Deputy PM Marcus Lauzon but for sure he’s a black wolf. But I have lingering questions about who he worked with…the big bad black wolf (or wolves?) still to be revealed.
