What lesson did Wart learn with the owl transformation?
During the Wart’s time in the Mews, he sees the murderous insanity of a military society.

Cully, who has been driven to the point of psychotic behavior, is referred to as Colonel, but even his military discipline cannot prevent him from acting on his murderous tendencies. The Wart demonstrates his courage in the Mews, but his success at the task that the birds force him to complete seems to be a hollow victory, and even being triumphantly hailed as “the King of Merlins” is undermined by the ridiculous trial he is forced to endure.
