After The Death Of Mr Maloney Analysis
Not long after the death of Mr. Maloney, Ms. Maloney had given birth to their child, or may I say children, she had given birth to twins. When she looked at them she saw her only reason to keep on going on, her children. Soon after her son and daughter were born she debated if she should turn herself in or if she should continue to hide the truth and raise her children. She had eventually made her choice, she wanted to raise her kids. She knew it’d be difficult to be a single mother and raise her two children, but she didn’t care; She was determined to give her children the best life they could ever have. She didn’t know it now, but her children would eventually lead to her own demise.

She was able to find work very easily since the whole

Ms. Maloney didn’t care that she had gotten an innocent man arrested, she had her children and that’s all she needed, but ever since that day she’s had awful nightmares of her murdering her husband, she feared she was going insane. Her children were 16 and she wanted to confess once they turned 18, but she no longer wants them to know the truth. She doesn’t want her children to think she’s a monster, she loved them so dearly, she did all of this for them. “I can do this, I need to do this…” she’d tell herself, attempting to pull herself together even though the guilt felt like it was consuming her. She looked at the clock, 2:55 PM, the children will be coming home soon, I need to keep it together.. After a few minutes of silence, she heard the front door open and her son walked in. She got up from her seat to help him out. “Cole, honey, how was school…? And where’s your sister?” He sat down his bag on the floor and sat on the couch next to his mother. “School was fine, and Violet wanted me to tell you that she’s going out with some friends and will be home late.” Ms. Maloney made a humming noise in response. “I’m going to go to my room and do my homework.” “Okay.” Ms. Maloney turned on the television and sat there. She thought about how Cole is beginning to look more and more like his father, and how Violet is growing up and hanging out with friends. She loved them so dearly, she killed her husband and told no one, just for them to live. She went into a trance like state, and reenacted the scene in her mind, she felt like she was actually in the memory, she saw her husband, she had a weapon, but this time it wasn’t a leg of lamb… it was a knife, but she continued on, she saw her husband in front of her, he turned around and looked terrified. Ms. Maloney was so confused, this wasn’t how she

    Judge and jury, I beg thee to charge Ms. Maloney with the murder of Patrick Maloney. Why would the perfectly stable Mary Maloney randomly decide to kill her husband? What would cause a perfectly sane woman to do such a heinous crime? As you are aware, Patrick Maloney was a well-respected member of the police force. To all who knew him he was a good man. He never had any enemies, and was very committed to his job. So how did this good man end up dead? Supposedly, Mr. Maloney was alleged of having an affair. However, Mr. Maloney is no longer around to testify to that fact. If Ms. Maloney had heard of this alleged affair, maybe that drove her to murder him. There is sufficient evidence showing that Ms. Maloney was the murderess. Number one, there…

    I am going to analyze how Mary Maloney from Lamb to the Slaughter, Mrs. Birling, from An Inspector Calls and Angela from the Legacy were able to keep up appearances despite their life´s realities. First of all, Mary Maloney simulated appearance despite the fact that she had killed her husband. She acted as a harmless, loving and devoting housewife. The way in which she maintained her home, the manner in which she arranged for the daily return of her husband from work and her physical appearance indicated her inoffensive. Furthermore, the ability that she had to make up all the events for the police and persuaded them to eat the leg of the lamb revealed how deceptive Mary´s appearance was.…

    “I find you, Alice Dubson,Guilty of the murders of Sarah, Jonathan and Tyson Dubson” the judge's words reverberated through the courtroom causing searing tears to well within her now glassy eyes and her to shake her head while incoherently screaming “no” as if she was a broken record player. Her body was trembling as continued to scream at the judge who merely smirked at us while fondling a disgustingly thick roll of money under his podium. Her screams echoed through the halls as we were dragged away by four disgruntled officers. “Stop screaming you stupid little girl” I roar causing her to go silent in fear while tears continued to stream down her pathetic little face. As we passed the jury their disgusted glares…

Matt did not think that the justice system would release a man like this on bail. This murderer is now tending to his daily routines without a care in the world, while the victims of his injustice helplessly watch.

    It seems as though they’ve lived to serve their spouse out of love. Mary Maloney from, “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, would prepare for when her husband, Patrick Maloney arrives from his work. Being a methodical person that she is, she would follow a procedure so that she could help him settle down. Along with this, Mary was quick to act on simple tasks, an example of this was when she was able to see that her husband was about to get another drink so she jumped out of her chair and offered to get the drink for him and even if he refused her offer, it was the thought that counts. On the other hand, to a much more severe degree, Monsieur Loisel from, “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, risked his well being to help his wife, Mathilde…

    Come quick! Patrick's dead!” “He’s lying on the floor and i think he’s dead.” These two quotes support my theme is that she's now calling the police and there going to start asking questions about how it happened, who do u think did it, and what could have hit him that hard that he was to die. As the police arrived they began to ask her where she was when her husband Patrick had been killed. She told him she had ran to the grocery store to make dinner for patrick and she told them what grocer she had gotten the food from. The police left to ask the grocer if she seemed to be acting weird but of course he said no. She had rehearsed what she was going to say to him so many times she sounded just perfectly normal. “...Acted quite normal.. Very cheerful...wanted to give him a good supper..peas..cheesecake..impossible that she…” but actually she did. She had killed her husband over him leaving her for another women. She assumed that if they were to find out that she had kill him that they wouldn't kill her while she was pregnant with his baby. “In fact, it would be a relief. On the other hand, what about the child? What were the laws about murderers with unborn children? Did they kill them both-mother and child? Or did they wait until the tenth month? What did they do?” As she asked herself these questions as what was going to happen to her unborn child after she killed…

    I awoke today with the light streaming into my room and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. As I regained my conscience, I smelled the mold and felt damp room conditions all around me that imprisoned me. It reminded me of what would have happened only in a nightmare. It was only yesterday that Corey, Nurse, Hale and I had gone to help the accused women. So many times I felt that I could win the battle, yet just as many times I could feel the rope slipping through my fingers.…

    However, this fakeness is broken by a simple thing that is not perfect. ‘An accident’ leads to chaos and embarrassment for the mother. The naïve nature of both the child and a reflection of this in the women whom are all trying to out compete each other leads to ‘uproar’. ‘My mother’s mute shame’ also indicates the lack of initiative, instead an overwhelming sense of embarrassment which illustrates the Duffy felt women were wrapped up in their own image and the aura created by them and their family.…

I am a prisoner in my own house. I can’t take it any longer. I need help.” She stopped for breath. “Please help me,” she said in a trembling voice.

    After about an hour, I had finished getting dressed and was about to head out when I noticed Miss Jenkins on the floor. I realized my plan had worked I don’t want to go to jail for this. I don’t want to be blamed for this. I must hurry up and make it seem like a suicide attempt. Wait, people won’t believe she tried killing herself, what if I say she fell off her commode and blame someone else. I picked Miss Jenkins up from the floor and laid her on the couch, I put some clothes on her because she enjoyed sleeping half naked. I took the beer she had opened and grabbed the half empty bottle of sleeping pills and placed them on the table right next to Miss Jenkins. I grabbed Buffy’s rhinestone leash and headed out with my precious Lhasa apso dog. As soon as I was walking out the building, I saw the doorman and remembered I had to tell him about Miss Jenkins.…
