* NonMaliciousMonster: Played With. Unlike [[spoiler: [[FullyEmbracedFiend Sir John Talbot]]]], Lawrence seems to have at least some measure of control over his murderous instincts even when fully transformed. When he transforms in the asylum, for instance, he makes a beeline right for Honneger, who had been torturing him extensively: the other doctors who get in his way are unceremoniously, but harmlessly shoved aside. He attacks the orderly only after said orderly stabs him in the back with a syringe. In two later occasions he manages to calm down enough to stand quietly with humans right in front of him: once with Gwen, and once in a deleted scene where he is lured by the sound of a blind woman singing and seems content to simply listen. In total, his mindset as a wolfman seems to be one part scared wild animal, one part hungry wild animal, and one part terrified human fighting desperately from within, as opposed to a mindless engine of slaughter.

Please no first-person language. Also, "just listen to you" isn't proper context. You should describe here why he fits the trope, not just ask the readers to watch the movie.

* WrongGenreSavvy: His idea about making Lawrence experience a full moon while surrounded by witnesses might have been effective and helpful to Lawrence in a psychological thriller about a man who only had mental delusions about lycanthropy. Too bad for Hoenneger that Lawrence is a ''real'' werewolf.

* KarmicDeath: He spends most of his scenes torturing Talbot, exacerbating his horrific trauma, and eventually has him strapped to a table and mocked as a deluded loon. Talbot specifically goes for him as a werewolf, shoving two more innocent doctors out of the way, before grabbing Hoenneger and chucking him out of a two-story window to his death.

!! Reverend Fisk
'''Played by''': Roger Frost
The local minister.
* TheFundamentalist: He gets a good speech to this effect, rallying awareness of the werewolf, and urging people to stay together while also claiming that its presence can be attributed to God's wrath.
--> '''Fisk''': There are those who doubt the power of Satan. The power of Satan to change men into beasts. But the ancient Pagans did not doubt, nor did the prophets. Did not Daniel warn Nebakanezer? But the proud king did not heed Daniel. And so, as the bible says, he was made as unto a wolf and cast down from man. A beast has come among us! But God will defend his faithful. With his right hand, he will smite the foul demon. I say to you, the enemy's ploy is a devious one, twisting the occursed into beasts he seeks to bring us low, and make us as animals. Teach us self-loathing so that we forget that we are made in the image of almighty God himself. Why does our Lord tolerate this mockery? Pride goeth before destruction? A faulty spirit before the fall? I say it is because we have sinned against him. Because our crimes reek to Heaven, and they demand vengeance!
* HiddenDepths: For unclear reasons, he does not take part in the bungled attempt to trap the werewolf. He is also the first one to show [=McQueen=]'s claims any consideration.
