Lamb to the Slaughter
The domestic setting makes this story’s plot unpredictable for the reader. Peace and
tranquility described in it suddenly turn to the horrible murder scene, making the story
extremely intriguing. Regarding gender aspects, the woman is shown as very cold-blooded,
sensible and cruel. Male characters, however, differ from each other. Mary’s husband was
saying some thoughtless things considering that they were expecting a baby. At the same
time, his colleagues from police are described as smart and creative people. One of the
policemen found out that the thing used for Patrick’s murder was “right under our very
noses” (Dahl n.p.) while eating the lamb’s leg Mary killed Patrick by.
