             Margarita who caused his life to be somewhat of a living                     away. So when Talano leaves the house, Margarita takes

              hell. One night, Talano dreams that his wife was walking in                 herself straight to the woods so she can catch him in the
             some beautiful woods by their house when a wolf grabs her                    act.  Sure enough, a gigantic wolf appears and drags her
              by the throat. In the dream, Margarita’s throat is shredded                 off by her throat. Margarita is saved by shepherds, who
