LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER by ROALD DAHL


In my opinion, the tragic news that Patrick give Mary is he want to divorce his pregnant wife. Furthermore, at the beginning of the story  everything was not right when Patrick come home, he act strange by breaking of their usual routine. Further convince that Patrick leaving his wife is when he promise to support her financial and insist Mary not make anything that might reflect badly on his position as a police. Her first instinct when Patrick  wanted to divorce was not to believe what her husband told. This is shown when she decides to act as if nothing has happened hoping that this will somehow cause her problem to go away. Consequently, this situation impacts her emotionally that she felt shock, sad and frustrated. Thus, she ends up by killing his husband with no regret. Although she is not worried about her own life, she is worried about the life of her unborn child, and so she carefully plans how to get away with the murder.
