The short story I used to make this poem is called ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’ by Ronald DahlThe conflict in the story is mostly External. The protagonist of the story is called Maria Maloneny And The antagonist is the husband of Mary.The first External conflictIt is that Mary’s husband was trying to leave her Her husband came back from work one day and He was leaving her It described “She sat very still through it all watching him with a kind of dazes horror as he went further and further away from her with each word” Mary Did not accept that, she wanted to ignore the fact her husband wanted to leave her but failed. And in anger, hit him with a lamb leg that was supposed to be for dinner and killed him.
My poem shows the concept by highlighting words like ‘shock’ and ‘frightened’ to show the tension between the two main characters. The word ‘dazed horror’ shows the shock Mary felt against the news of divorce. The bloody background presents a straightforward idea of the violence and murder happening in the short story. My font style and font size both is set according to the mode and feeling of the word or sentence. For example for the two words ‘Killed him’ I made the font size big to make it look scary and intimidating, for the font style I chose a pointy sharp font to express the kill.
