I like the story Lamb To The Slaughter because of how they describe vivdly the process in which Mary Maloney's true character is revealed. The greatest part of the story to me is when she deceives the detectives and even tricks them into eating the murder weapon. The last few comments made by the detectives were unbelievably ironic and amusing. At the start of the story, she seems to be a perfect wife and a caring woman- that is, until she murders her husband. She accepts his death without question. In the later part of the story, a darker side of her character is revealed- a deceitful, sly murderer who is also a good actor. Despite all this, we must ask ourselves: did she do it to save her own skin, or was it all for the unborn child?
