Patrick came home from work one day and told his wife, Mary, shocking news. Mary goes down to get dinner, a leg of lamb, and comes back into the room and kills Patrick with the lamb leg. The narrator explains, “At that point, Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause, she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head” (Dahl, 2). Mary Maloney killed her husband with a frozen leg of lamb with a blow at the back of his head. This means that the lamb is symbolising the weak and defenseless. Mary Maloney took the weak and defenseless and killed her husband with it, revealing that the weak and defenseless are capable of doing illegal things too. This matters because it reveals that people have to be wary of even the most frail and vulnerable because they can do drastic things just like the strong and powerful. Mary was able to take the frail and defenseless and use it to kill someone, which is illegal. Mary’s common sense was gone, as was the lamb’s.

Mary has three distinct personalities throughout the story. In the beginning of the short story, “Lamb to the Slaughter” she seems like a devoted wife to her husband, Patrick. For instance, “The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight-hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the

Dahl’s use of dramatic irony during the story helps displays the actions of Mary Maloney and other characters. Mary Maloney swings the leg of the lamb to the back of the head of her husband. Dahl says, “ she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head” (Dahl 320). As a result, this quote is effective because the lamb was used as a weapon, instead of food; which shows that Mary could use anything to harm someone without her trying or when it was her attempt to hurt that someone. The story writes, “Probably right under our very noses. What you think, Jack”. In the same way as the first quote, this sets back to Mary because she sabotages the police to eat the lamb. With the police eating the lamb she is getting rid of the evidence so she does not get caught. From the use of dramatic irony in the story, Dahl's builds Mary as a character; he also uses different irony to create her.

To begin with, Blake’s use of repetition intensifies the significance of our creator and all he has done for us, as well as the sacrificial giving of life, food, and clothing as would a parent sacrificing for a little child. Blake’s reoccurrence of the questions, “Little Lamb who made thee?” and “Dost thou know who made thee?” shows the importance of creation of the little lamb. He answers the questions repetitiously by saying, “Little Lamb I’ll tell thee, Little Lamb I’ll tell thee!” (Blake, 1988). The answer continues on in the

     “The Heidi Chronicles” by Wendy Wasserstein kept my interest so much that I could not put it down until I was to the last page. I liked how the issue of sexuality played a role along with the issue of feminist goals in this play. I believe they complimented one another in that both groups strive for equal right among the majority. For example when Peter starts to march with the other women from the Art Institute. It shows that he is standing for a cause the effects another minority group in our society: women.

The Lamb' begins by a child asking the lamb if it knows who made it. The fact that the inquirer is a child is established later in the poem. The answer, of course, is God. The child describes the gifts God has given the lamb-life, food, clothing, and a sweet voice. In the second stanza, the child tells the lamb that it was made by God, and that 'he calls himself a lamb', and that 'he is a little child'. The poem ends with the child saying 'Little lamb, God bless thee!'
