"Personally, I think it's right here on the premises." "Probably right under our very noses. What do you think Jack?
This is an example of dramatic irony because while all the readers know that what they are currently eating while saying this is the murder weapon, the murder weapon is quite literally under their noses but they have no idea, only the readers do.

“This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I’m afraid,” he said. “But I’ve thought  about it a good deal and I’ve decided the only thing to do is tell you right away. I hope you won’t blame me too much.”  (Dahl line 75).

This is the point of the story where the reader starts to suspect that something is wrong.

"She carried the meat into the kitchen, placed it in a pan, turned the oven on high,
and shoved t inside. Then she washed her hands and ran upstairs to the bedroom. She
sat down before the mirror, tidied her hair, touched up her lops and face. She tried a
smile. It came out rather peculiar. She tried again." This quote gives a cunning and psychopathic tone. She's trying to be happy and make herself smile so she can cover up the fact that she murdered her husband.

An example of tone is "I’ll get it!” she cried, jumping up.
“Sit down,” he said. When he came back, she noticed that the new drink was dark amber with the quantity of whiskey in it.
“Darling, shall I get your slippers?”
“No.”(Dahl 1) This is an example of tone because it is showing how the tone of his voice is annoyed or bothered and he seems to be angry with her.

An example of the tone in "Lamb to the Slaughter" is "He had now become absolutely motionless, and he kept his head down so that the
light from the lamp beside him fell across the upper part of his face, leaving the chin and
mouth in shadow." (Dahl 2). This shows tone, because the author is describing how the husband is acting dull and uninterested while the wife was trying to talk to him.

This is an example of situational irony. "At that point, Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause
she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she
could on the back of his head." (Dahl 2)
This is an example of situational irony because no one expected something like this to happen.

An example of dramatic irony in "Lamb to the Slaughter" is "“That’s the hell of a big club the gut must’ve used to hit poor Patrick,” one of them was saying. “The doc says his skull was smashed all to pieces just like from a
sledgehammer.” “That’s why it ought to be easy to find.” “Exactly what I say.” “Whoever done it, they’re not going to be carrying a thing like that around with them longer than they need.” One of them belched. “Personally, I think it’s right here on the premises.”
“Probably right under our very noses. What you think, Jack?”
And in the other room, Mary Maloney began to giggle. " This is an example of dramatic irony because we know something that the police men don't. We know that they are eating the murder weapon, while discussing where or what the murder weapon is.

An example of dramatic irony is, "Soon, other men began to come into the house. First a doctor, then two detectives, one of whom she know by name. Later, a police photographer arrived and
took pictures, and a man who know about fingerprints." This is dramatic irony because the readers know that the wife killed her husband but the detectives in the story have no idea.

", but without anxiety, merely to
please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when
he would come. There was a slow smiling air about her, and about everything she did.
The drop of a head as she bent over her sewing was curiously tranquil." (Dahl, 1)
The mood of this quote is calm, and tranquil because the way the author is describing the actions and feelings of Mrs. Maloney express a very relaxed manner, without doing anything in a hurry or anxiously.

“Probably right under our very noses. What you think, Jack?” (Dahl 6) The irony of this quote is that they are looking for the weapon and one of them says that it's probably right under their noses, and it's literally right under their noses.

"and began to
cry her heart out. It was easy. No acting was necessary." This is an example of verbal irony because she obviously didn't literally cry her heart out.

'Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come." (Dahl 1)
