Essay I am going to explain within this essay how I think Mary Maloney’s character changes in the story Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl.

Have you ever wondered if this is reality or is it all just a dream? There are those days where you never want it to end‚ where if it were a dream you’d never want to wake up from it. Then there are those days that you wish and hope that it would just end‚ desperately trying to wake up‚ to escape. How about a day that was so wonderful that you were scared that it was just too good to be true‚ that it might not be reality after all?
