The Landlady Compare And Contrast

314 Words2 Pages

"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl had lots of similarities and differences between the short story and film. This story is about a seventeen-year-old boy named Billy Weaver who goes to Bath and stays in a bed and breakfast.

Another similarity I found between the book and the movie was how the Landlady gave Billy the tea. This is an important event that had to be in the text and film because the tea is poison and that is how she kills him to be stuffed. Also, in the film and text, the Landlady
