Introduction
Our first impression of Mary Maloney is not one of hatred or anger. She seem's like a kind-hearted women who is so inlove with her husband that it must hurt. When recieving the bad news, although the reader is not told, it is obvious that Patrick is going to divorce her, she react's as though it never happened. As Patrick told her she sat "watching him with a kind of dazed horror as he went further and further away from him with each word" This is the turning point for this loving wife whom would never hurt her husband.
Our first impression of the Landlady is similar to Mary. Roald Dahl iliminates our first impressions of the land lady, from a kind woman to a pyschopath through subtle twists and turns. Older women are known to be kind and caring. This is what we first notice in the Landlady.
Mary Maloney changes drastically after hearing the horrible news that Patrick has given her. Her first reaction is definetly not what we expect from a pregnant wife who just found out that her husband wants a divorce. She acts as if nothing has changed, like a normal night in after her husband has come home. She still fusses about him after she was told. As she heads down to the freezer is the changing point, as she thinks things through it dawns on her what's actually going to happen. "Everything was automatic now." Proving that she was not herself, she gets the lamb without any emotion showing. When she swung the leg of lamb, she had still remained calm.
As Billy agrees to stay, the Landlady immeadetly changes her kind and welcoming speech into something more dramatic and alarmin ."You see, it isn't very often I have the pleasure of taking a visitor into my little nest." Billy and the reader then realise that there's something not right. She's a little dotty but not pyschotic. Dahl combines both suspense and supernatural and brings it to life in the bed and breakfast. As she gets him to sign the name book he notices that there's only 2
