Blog Assignment #4
Lamb to Slaughter is defiantly a suspense. Throughout the whole story the reader is always thinking ahead, trying to predict what will happen next. The suspense all begins when Mary Maloney begins to prepare supper for her husband. She takes a piece of lamb meat out of the freezer and instead of feeding it to her husband, she knocks him over the head with it, killing him. It is resolved in the end when Mary Maloney feeds the men that are trying to find her husband's killer the piece of meat she used as her weapon. There were no red herrings thrown at the reader throughout the whole story. Lamb to Slaughter is defiantly not an example of poetic justice, Mary Maloney gets away with murder.
