In English, our entire class read the short story Lamb to the Slaughter. The story follows Mary Maloney, a devoted and loving housewife, or at least so we thought. Mary murders her husband, after he tells her a secret he simply had to get off his chest. She must then find a way to cover up the murder, and in the end be proven innocent.
The story was very clever, and really makes you think. It was clear to say that Mary is crazy for what she did. She killed someone! On the other hand, lots of people probably understand Mary and why she did what she did. I’m sure many people have been enraged at someone else or even there boyfriend or husband lots of times, just maybe not to the point where they want to strike them in the back of the head with a leg of lamb. With that said, I sure hope this story doesn’t give anyone ideas.
