The reaction of the story- Lamb to the Slaughter

  I like Ronald Dahl's stories, especially the "Lamb to the Slaughter". This story is a dark comic. It was talking about the wife killed her husband by the leg of lamb. She put the leg of lamb into the oven, then she went to the grocery store to buy some stuffs, and then she came back home  saw his husband died,  she called the police. When polices drove to her house, the police comforted her and began to survey. After a while, she asked polices to eat the leg of lamb (which is the weapon). She began to giggle in the other room while the police were eating the meal. Ronald Dahl had used situational irony and the dramatic irony, and it emphasized the elements of the dark comic. This story is probably the best in “Forth course, Element OF Literature”. To me, this story is not only dark comic, but also the story that contains lots of ironies.
