Lamb To The Slaughter Questions

 Answer the following questions making reference to the text to support your responses.

 

1. What do the first few paragraphs of the story suggest about Mary Maloney’s relationship with her husband?

2. Before the husband breaks the news, what three clues are there that this particular evening is going to be a break with routine?

3. Do you think the murder was “premeditated” or a “crime of passion”? Give examples from the text to support your answer.

4. Is it reasonable that the policemen should be fooled by what she says (remember she is a policeman's wife) or do you find the whole thing rather unlikely?

5. Do you think Mary Maloney is a “normal” person? Did she react in a normal way? Why or why not?

The tender, succulent beef ribs melts in my mouth instantly even when I don't chew it.

Since these runny poached egg yolks slowly drip out, it gently mixes well with the smoked ham and hollandaise sauce over an English muffin
