how does the land lady feels about the young men she lures into her home

Answer 1

Hi, Max! If this in reference to the Short Story titled "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl, then I might be able to assist in your thinking for this question.

Throughout the short story, there are small details that could help understand what is happening. For example, the landlady offered him a cup of tea which "tasted faintly of bitter almonds." This indicates that the teas is in fact poisoned, specifically with cyanide.

It is also revealed that the landlady is a taxidermist, and later she mentions that they are still upstairs together. This is when we can draw on the conclusions that she may have poisoned the other visitors, perhaps just for taxidermy purposes- and the same will probably happen to Billy himself. She even exhibits a specific victim profile, a young-looking male around the age of 17, except for one whom looked about 17.

I hope I could help you further understand the ideas being presented in this short story. Please let me know if you need any further help.

I am assuming this question refers to the landlady from "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl. In all honesty, I haven't read this story in years, but I would say she views them as trophies. 1) She literally uses taxidermy to preserve her kills. 2) She only boards young, handsome men (one was without a blemish on his body) 3) The landlady is "dotty" and keeps forgetting the protagonists name; this could imply the protagonist is interchangeable (in her mind) with any other young man who fits her kill criteria,
