The landlady informational start
Storyboard Text
- First thing we’re going to talk about are boarding houses in the early 1900s. Boarding houses were a huge thing in the early-mid 1900s. Boarding houses also play a big role in “The Landlady” as billy was on his way to one and then stops at another because it looked “welcoming” with a dog and a fireplace. Boarding houses may be weird to us now, but in the early-mid 1900s boarding houses were the normal.
- The next thing that plays a big role in “The Landlady” is Cyanide Poisoning. Cyanide poisoning is what the Landlady puts into Billy’s tea that Billy accepts. Cyanide Poisoning is used in all kinds of murder mystery books, but in real life Cyanide can refer to any chemical that contains a carbon-nitrogen (CN) bond. Cyanide Poisoning is what the Landlady most likely uses to knock her victims.
- The most important thing in “The Landlady” is taxidermy. In “The Landlady” she taxidermy her dog, bird and two other boys that billy doesn’t know of. The Author of “The Landlady” doesn’t come out and say they the landlady has taxidermied the other two boys who stayed there but the reader obviously gets suspicion and knows that on there own. Taxidermy on humans is illegal everywhere. Which makes you wonder if taxidermy on humans was illegal in the early-mid 1900s, which it was.
