Talk:Lamb to the Slaughter

message: Umm, should the whole of the story really be on here? Isn't it copyrighted? It's in his 'Skin and other stories' book (actually published), so I would've thought that it can't be reproduced in its entirety here? Baberlp 20:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Woah. Huh. That is weird. I could swear I recognize that website, though (I think my semester at online school used it as a reference? For a poem or something). I'm not sure if that should really be there, though.--Yubishines 01:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says "The main character, Mary Maloney, has also been noted among one of the most complex characters in short stories, from her drastic change portrayed by Roald Dahl."; but there is no reference or source stating where this is noted. Should this be fixed? Even if it shouldn't it would be nice to have a reliable source which states this along with all the reasons. Frodo 11011 (talk) 04:26, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes.  Without a source, it's the writer's opinion, and has to go.  The passage also requires rewriting because the sentence is badly structured and the subordinate clause doesn't make sense. 12.233.146.130 (talk) 19:53, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Does this story take place in America? what is this based on ? Jeff Song (talk) 22:49, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it takes place in the UK, and I don't believe that it's based on anything - simply a work of Dahl's imagination. Sweet Brunette (talk) 02:02, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
