Recommended: Significance of suspense in literature

The story 'The Landlady' by Roald Dahl is very chilling and suspenseful. This short story is filled with suspense. Mr. Weaver was sent to find a place to stay by himself, he passed a seemingly appealing bed and breakfast, he was distracted by the neatness, and how polite she was, when he got a suspicious feeling about the place. Roald Dahl builds a sense of foreboding by not focusing on the outside of a person or place but focusing on their actions and what is on the inside. Therefore, something that builds a sense of foreboding in the story is when the landlady is messing up Billy Weaver's last name whenever she talked to him. The author includes "The morning sun comes right in the windows, Mr. Perkins. It's is Mr. Perkins isn't it?" (Page;

  • Roald Dahl's Use Of Hyperbole In The Landlady

    223 Words  | 1 Pages

    Furthermore, Roald Dahl uses literary devices in his unique imaginative and creative writing style is created by his use of figurative language and irony. For example, in short story “The Landlady”, it states, “Oh, it’s the perfect age” (pg. 68) and “You have the most beautiful teeth” (pg. 68). In other words, Dahl uses the figurative language of hyperbole here to describe how the Landlady feels about Bill and how she thinks he’s so perfect. From this, we can infer that Dahl’s use of hyperbole develops an uncomfortable feeling about the Landlady’s relationship with Billy, as she gives him compliments upon unusual aspects of himself which one wouldn’t expect a stranger to say about somebody. As an illustration, in the text on page 68, it reads,

  • Repetition In Lamb Of Slaughter

    306 Words  | 1 Pages

    The repetition Roald Dahl uses helps the scare factor in “The Landlady” and “Lamb of Slaughter”. In “Lamb of Slaughter”, Roald Dahl repeats the words “Sit down” and “eat something” in the story. For example, in the text it says, “Anyways, she went on. I’ll get you some bread and cheese.” and “ Sit down, he said. Just for a minute, sit down.”. These words being repeated makes you wonder why he doesn’t want to eat, especially after a long hard day at work. Also, it makes you wonder what he wants to tell her, but it never tells you so it kinda makes you think of what he tells her.

    The story begins as the boy describes his neighborhood. Immediately feelings of isolation and hopelessness begin to set in. The street that the boy lives on is a dead end, right from the beginning he is trapped. In addition, he feels ignored by the houses on his street. Their brown imperturbable faces make him feel excluded from the decent lives within them. The street becomes a representation of the boy’s self, uninhabited and detached, with the houses personified, and arguably more alive than the residents (Gray). Every detail of his neighborhood seems designed to inflict him with the feeling of isolation. The boy's house, like the street he lives on, is filled with decay. It is suffocating and “musty from being long enclosed.” It is difficult for him to establish any sort of connection to it. Even the history of the house feels unkind. The house's previous tenant, a priest, had died while living there. He “left all his money to institutions and the furniture of the house to his sister (Norton Anthology 2236).” It was as if he was trying to insure the boy's boredom and solitude. The only thing of interest that the boy can find is a bicycle pump, which is rusty and rendered unfit to play with. Even the “wild” garden is gloomy and desolate, containing but a lone apple tree and a few straggling bushes. It is hardly the sort of yard that a young boy would want. Like most boys, he has no voice in choosing where he lives, yet his surroundings have a powerful effect on him.
