“The Landlady” is a short story written by Roald Dahl. This is a suspenseful horror story written in third person point of view. Billy Weaver arrives in Bath, England to fulfill his dream of becoming a businessman only to be lured into a trap by a seemingly harmless old woman. Dahl uses foreshadowing to give clues as to what might happen later on in the story. This is a story in which a young man named Billy Weaver travels to Bath, England.
A major difference that I noticed while watching the movie is the director’s characterization of Tea Cake. The director does not include many scenes that could possibly portray Tea Cake in a negative light. For example, when Mrs. Turner brings her brother to meet Janie with hope that Janie will take interest in him, Tea Cake does not like this and before the week is out he whips Janie (Hurston 147). Tea Cake beats Janie to relieve his own insecurities and because being able to whip her reassures his possession of Janie (147). I believe the director leaves this out in fear that this incident would change the viewers’ perspective of Tea Cake and Janie’s relationship.
The tone in the first paragraph is critical. Nick says: “The thing for Daisy to do is to rush out of the house, child in arms”. We can hear criticism in this phrase because he blames her for not doing it and even not having “such intentions in her head”, but he of course is a bit exaggerating. Nick is also criticizing Daisy’s husband Tom, when saying “he had been depressed by a book”, as if it is nonsense that Tom is reading a book. He is looking down at him and says that he nibbles “at the edge of stale ideas”.

This fate/prophecy is ironic for Louis because he ends up going past the semetary, and burying his daughter’s cat, as well as his son. Louis had to find out about the supernatural powers of the burial ground the hard way. 2nd argument: During the second meeting with the witches’, the apparition of the crowned child says to Macbeth “Macbeth will not die until Birnam wood will come near Dunsinane Hill”(Act 4 Scene 1) This prophesy is ironic for Macbeth because he thinks it will never happen but in reality it happens. Yet, the events of Ellie’s Cat and Louis previously talking to Ellie about death came into play when Church dies. Ellie, as well as Louis, had no idea that church was going to get hit by a truck.
