In "The Landlady," a young man is searching for a place to stay and finds himself in the house of a seemingly harmless landlady with a disturbing hobby. In "Lamb to the Slaughter," a woman takes great measures to cover up a murder and serves up the evidence to unsuspecting investigators. In both stories, Roald Dahl employs the use of author's craft, symbolism, and
nature and she had a plan used to obviously kill two other boys. The theme is “don’t judge a book by its cover” because the landlady seemed very gentle and sweet, when she’s really crazy. The setting of the story is in Bath, London, at a bed a breakfast that is inexpensive, cozy, and serene with a “bright fire burning in the hearth”.
