Compare And Contrast Lamb To The Slaughter And A Jury Of Her Peers

There are many similarities in “Lamb to the Slaughter” and in “A Jury of her Peers” but there are also many differences, here are some of them. Some of the main comparisons of these two stories had me in shock because they are really different stories. One of the main similarities were that these stories took place in the time where the wife didn’t really do labor and she just stayed home and took care of the family and took care of the house and husband. The husband expected dinner when he arrived home from work and a clean house so he didn’t have to worry about doing any labor when he got home from a hard day at work. Their stories also had in common that both their wives killed their husbands which I didn’t expect from either of them.

One difference that you might have not expected was the settings for each story and while ¨Lamb to the Slaughter¨ took place during the 1960s and while ¨A Jury of Her Peers¨ took place during the 1910s but even though it was a big difference it was still the era wear wives took care of their husbands. Another significant difference is ¨Lamb to the Slaughter¨ took place in a city setting while ¨A Jury of her Peers¨ took place in more of a city setting. There is a big difference on why the wives killed the husband in “A Jury of her Peers” the wife killed her husband because she killed the canary but in “Lamb to the Slaughter” the wife killed her husband because he wanted to divorce her and those are two big differences. In “A Jury of her Peers” the wife got caught for the action she did but in “Lamb to the Slaughter” the wife covered everything up and nothing happened to her like in the other story. Last big difference between both of the awesome stories was that the wife in “A Jury of her Peers” just left the evidence and everything there and didn’t really care about what she did or what would happen to her but in “Lamb to the Slaughter” she cleaned everything up and left no evidence
