The Body Snatchers by R.L Stevenson and The Landlady by Roald Dahl

A comparison of the body stalker written by RL Stevenson in 1884 and The Landlady written by Roald Dahl in 1960. This mission compares and contrasts the way Stevenson and Dahl create and maintain dramatic tension. . These texts contain many similarities, as death and deception are involved. In The Body Snatchers, some people are involved in fraud. The lady general is the only person involved in murder, fraud, tampering with the victim.

Roald Dahl 's creepy short story "The Landlady" was first published in The New Yorker in November 1959. That story was later reprinted in Kiss Kiss, a collection of Dahl's short stories published by Knopf in 1960. In 1960 Dahl won his second Edgar Award in "Maid" to get the best short story novel puzzle. Along with the beginning of the story, 17-year-old Billy Weaver is on a business trip to an employer hotel in Bath, UK. He departed from London and his trip was not successful. Weaver had to change trains in Swindon from afternoon until midnight. Darre felt like a mood and cast a cold, windy day for the Weaver trip. On the way, he came to the bed & breakfast and was fascinated by a window display containing a yellow chrysanthemum bottle. Especially after finding the slogan repeating the word "Bed & Breakfast", he decided to stay there instead of the recommended bell and dragon.

Roald Dahl's 'The Landlady' is a dark and terrible look, watching 17-year-old Billy Weaver staying at the B & B for the first time and at the end. After seeking advice from Porter, he chose a dormitory where the female landlord looked better on the surface, but had a dark secret related to her animal specimen preparation technique. In this story, I saw fraud, satire, and innocent themes.

Roald Dahl's "The Landlady" contains subjects of exploitation. This can be proved by a forgotten Billy and a female landlord. An example of Billy's indifference to the owner's wife is his first time thinking of staying at the hotel. "This old lady is a bit stupid," Billy said. But who will be great at 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock every night? "I thought you would be overwhelmed by the applicant," he politely said. "This shows that Billy ignores the landlord's idea, which is a serious flaw that will ultimately serve his life," when the women's plan "Temple" Billy said. 'Gregory Temple. "No, dear," she said. 'Only you. '(Dal 5). This evidence shows how women used Billy's innocence to live their lives (this is her unusual passion)
