Lamb to the Slaughter Film vs. Story Kyomi Newhouse The movie Lamb to the Slaughter directed by Alfred Hitchcock is based on the story of the same title by Roald Dahl. The main plot begins with a pregnant housewife, Mary, waiting with anticipation for her husband Patrick to come home. When he arrives she dotes on him happily, but it’s obvious something’s on his mind and he announces that he’s leaving her. Mary acts as if nothing has happened and goes to prepare dinner by getting a leg of lamb from the freezer. Something suddenly comes over her and she hits Patrick over the head with the lamb and quickly thinks of how she can create an alibi for herself. When the police come she insists they eat the lamb, and they do, thus destroying the murder weapon. Both the film and text share many similarities which is no surprise, however, there are also some differences between the two. Since the movie is based on the story, it’s no wonder that they share many similarities. For example, Mary and Patrick’s relationship doesn’t change, their roles and characteristics are the same, and the murder and its aftermath occur in the same way with the same results. Firstly, Patrick’s tone and demeanor towards Mary is cold and sharp. He doesn’t say much except to tell her that he’s leaving. He doesn’t seem to notice how hard she’s trying or how kind she’s being, and certainly doesn’t reciprocate her love. Mary is needy, always seeking Patrick’s validation. She tries hard to make him happy…

I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago. It was a rainy Sunday in February when I invited my best…

since the 19th century, but they also have stayed the same in few ways. The Industrial Revolution catalyzed a transformation in which men and women came together.

For example, they started placing dowries on…
