What were your thoughts about the ending of this short story? Could Mary Maloney get away with the same crime in today's current society? Why/why not?
I thought that the ending of Lamb to the Slaughter's ending was unrealistic. Now, Mary probably would have gotten caught. I feel as though the police would have realized that she could have killed him with the meat they are eating. I also thought that the police officers today would be more professional and they wouldn't eat things that Mary gave them. I also thought that the police would know what time Patrick left because they worked together. This would have let them know that Mary was alone with Patrick for enough time before she went to the grossers to kill him.
