Mary Maloney is very devious. In the stories‚ “The Landlady” and “Lamb to the Slaughter”‚ the antagonists are both devious‚ but one is more devious than the other. Mary Maloney is more devious because she made the police eat the lamb and she pretended to not know that Patrick was dead. One way Mary Maloney is more devious is‚ she tricked the police into eating the evidence of Patrick’s murder. The text states‚"Personally‚ I couldn’t eat a thing‚ but it’d be a favor to me if you ate it up”(Dahl 4)

She was very
