Talk:Lamb to the Slaughter

Copyrighted story
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)

 * 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)

 * As far as I know the reason was never revealed; it's part of what gives the story its edge. MelicansMatkin (talk) 03:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The reason is indeed revealed and it is that the husband wants a divorce. Kostaki mou (talk) 04:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it's implied it's abortion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.222.73 (talk) 23:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Italian?!
Is this page actually in italian?! If so why?! I'm reading the english version of wiki, but this entire article is in Italian?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.254.226 (talk) 05:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems some vandalism slipped through; I've reverted it to an earlier version. Melicans (talk, contributions) 06:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

America?
Does this story take place in America? what is this based on ? Jeff Song (talk) 22:49, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 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)

Meat serving
I would actually rather say that she wanted to let the meat burn, but when the policeman told her that she 'forgot' it, she quickly decided to feed it to them. (in the textbit says that she wanted to make the policemen eat it all the time) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.50.146.47 (talk) 21:22, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
