How did Dahl use Mary's THOUGHTS to characterize her

English
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mary is carefully characterized from the opening lines of "Lamb to the Slaughter" as a woman whose entire life revolves around her husband. Even before her name is mentioned, it is clear that she has made the room warm and cozy and set out drinks and glasses in anticipation of his return. The first action she performs is to glance at the clock. Although Dahl says that she does this "without anxiety," his description makes it evident that she is waiting for the really important part of her day to begin. At a certain time, she begins to listen for the sounds of his car arriving. The rest of her calm, quiet existence is merely a preparation for the time she spends with Patrick.

Answer:

The answer is, Third-Person Point of View.

Explanation:

There are three different points of view. Point of view is the perspective of the narrator or character in a story.

There is the First-person point of view, second-person point of view and the third-person point of view.

The first-person point of view is usually marked by the use of "I". In this case, you are understanding the story from the narrator's perspective. The narrator also is usually a character in the story and this serves as a first hand account.

Second-person point of view view isn't that commonly used and is marked by the use of "you". It gives the illusion of the narrator speaking directly to the reader.

The third-person point of view as in this poem is marked by the use of "he", "she", "they". The third person point of view may be from a character in the story or from an omniscient perspective where the person knows what's going to happen and seems to be looking down and observing the characters.

In this poem, the third-person point of view is shown by the use of "they". Despite the use of "I" initially, as you read further, you see that the point of view even tends to the omniscient perspective as he seems to know their emotion shown in "In joy they fled before the wind".

Also, it is an account describing other characters in the poem without seeming to be in the story itself. This solidifies it as the third-person point of view.

The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of
