    there really is no story behind it other than a psycho maniac killing someone and then feeling guilt about it. In Dahl’s stories they have a story line‚ an example is The Landlady it may be like Poe’s story The Tell-Tale Heart but it has a deeper storyline‚ when I say this I mean there is more things that happen in The Landlady. This is why I like Roald Dahl’s stories better than

    disparity. The Victorian House represents what society expects women to be. The house is not just a house‚ yet it has meaning and importance to a traditional woman.

    Mr. Bleaney Mr. Bleaney is a poem by Philip Larkin. It has seven stanzas split into two main themes. It is about the thoughts of Larkin as the landlady shows him around the room of the mysterious ‘Mr. Bleaney’.

This would fit in with ‘They moved him’ as it could be a transfer. ‘Bodies’ is also quite relevant because the poem was written immediately after the Second World War.
