What Are The Difficulties In The Lamb Of The Slaughter

The story Lamb of The Slaughter was written by Roald Dahl, he published the book September 1953. In his book there was 2 main characters Patrick (the husband) and Mary (the pregnant wife). Dahl started the story off telling us that they are a great couple but as we got further into the story we see that there are some difficulties.
In the beginning of the story it shows us that Mary was waiting for her Patrick to come home from a long day of work, she glanced at the clock almost every minute. When she finally heard the tires come upon the stones outside she waited in her chair patiently waiting for him to come in. When he came in the house she said “ Hello Darling,” as he replied with a “Hello” (1) she took off his coat and hung it up. He
She didn’t see anything coming her way when that happen. She was nervous when he said “Listen, i got something to tell you.” she replied to him with a “What is it darling?” What’s the matter? (2) Then he became absolutely motionless, and he kept his head down. He started talking and he said "This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I'm afraid," he said. "But I've thought about it a good deal and I've decided the only thing to do is tell you immediately.” (2) It didn’t tell us what he said in the story but when you think about it you can see that he was leaving her and she didn’t like that. When he told her she sat there and acted like she didn’t hear her. “I’ll fix supper.” (2) she whispered. As she was walking across the room she couldn’t feel her feet touching the floor. She did everything without thinking, she went downstairs and took a hold of the first object she found. She took it out and ;looked at ut, it was wrapped in paper, it was a leg of a lamb. She took it upstairs she saw him standing by the window with his back towards her.”I’ve already told you” he said, “Don’t make me supper, I'm going out.” (2) At that time she didn’t know how to take control of her actions, she walked up to him, she swung the frozen leg in the air and brung it down hard as she could on the back of his head. She stood there waiting for at least four or five seconds, then he crashed to the floor. My analysis is that
The policeman was a friend of Patrick, so they was friends as well. The officer was feeling sad for her because she lost her husband. Mary forgot that she had the leg of the lamb in the oven so the officer reminded her that it was in there, she got up and went to get the food out the oven. When she came back she offered the officer something to drink, he didn’t think that it would be a good idea but he got one anyways, they talked for awhile, and she offered him something to eat. She went to get him some of the leg of the lamb. He was talking to her about the murder weapon about how if he was killed there the weapon could be somewhere around the house outside, but he didn’t know that what he was eating was the murder weapon. He stopped eating and she said, “Do me a favor and eat it all up for me” (4) , and that’s what he did was eat it. So the whole time he didn’t know what the murder weapon was, but the whole time he was eating it, and he didn’t know. So this story was a interesting story and it was based on a murder that no one knew
