In “Lamb to the Slaughter,” Roald Dahl, effectively develops the protagonist both directly and indirectly; however, the use of indirect characterization is more dominant because it reveals her actions and how she deals with her conflict, her words, and creating a dynamic character with her words, and her personality. ... She “…simply walked up behind him and without any pause she swung the big frozen leg of lamb…and brought it down as hard as she could…” (111). ... ’…’Yes, please’…’Why don’t you eat up that lamb that is in the oven? ... Finally, her personality creates in her a dynamic characterization, and as the reader observes it when she is talking to the shopkeeper, by saying something very odd: “’I got a nice leg of lamb from the freezer…I don’t much like cooking it frozen…but I’m taking a chance on it this time.
