The main characters are the wife and the husband. The wife is the central figure who commits the act of killing. The husband is the victim, though we don't know much about him before he is killed.
The story is about a woman who kills her husband in a rather unexpected way. She uses a frozen leg of lamb as the weapon. It shows her quick thinking and the element of surprise. For example, after killing her husband, she calmly goes to the grocery store to create an alibi.
It's a darkly humorous story. The wife's use of the leg of lamb as a murder weapon is both shocking and ironic. Dahl's description makes the ordinary domestic setting take a sudden, macabre turn. The way the wife calmly plans her alibi after the act shows her cunning and the unexpected nature of human behavior in extreme situations.
The themes in 'Lamb to the Slaughter' include revenge. The wife's act can be seen as revenge for her husband's decision to leave her. Also, the story touches on the theme of the unexpected. No one would expect the meek - looking wife to commit such a crime and then be so clever in covering it up.
The main characters are Mary Maloney and her husband. Mary is a housewife who seems to be completely devoted to her husband at the start. Her husband, though not fully developed as a character, is the catalyst for the events in the story as his decision to leave sets off the chain of events that lead to his death.
I'm not entirely sure as I can't remember all the details, but there are likely some characters involved in the act of bullying and the victim, maybe related to the swan in some way.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the story. But often in Dahl's stories, there are characters with distinct personalities.
The main character is the Enormous Crocodile of course. And there are other animals like the elephant, the hippopotamus, and the monkeys. Also, the children in the village are important as they are the ones the crocodile wants to eat.
One main theme is fear. The protagonist is extremely afraid of the supposed snake on his body. Another theme could be trust, as he has to trust his friend Harry to handle the situation.
Matilda's family mistreating her and ignoring her intelligence is one main event. Another is her starting school and facing Miss Trunchbull. And of course, Matilda finding out about her telekinetic powers.
Well, at the beginning of the story, Matilda is in a family that ignores her intelligence. As she enters school, she faces the harsh rule of Miss Trunchbull. Matilda's telekinetic abilities gradually emerge. For example, she can move objects with her mind. She uses this power to play pranks on Miss Trunchbull and ultimately to get revenge for Miss Honey. The final event is that Matilda gets to start a new and happy life with Miss Honey, away from her neglectful family and the cruel headmistress.
