The short story (Landlady) is about a teenager (Bill) who is London. He wants to stay in lodging this night. When he finds a hotel called Bed and Breakfast, which he thinks is not a bad place to go to (because the owner has pets; he turns out to be wrong; they’re just stuffed animals). The landlady was nice, but a little bit too kind; that’s suspicious. Something that’s also suspicious is the fact that there are only 2 other people here, and that they have been here for years (that’s what the landlady claims).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theme of this story is that you shouldn’t be too gullible. The reason is that anything may happen no matter what. Even ‘normal’ people are suspicious: this is because the one who is harming others is probably trying to be as normal as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bill is a cautious person, but he is not cautious enough. Even if the lady has a pet, that doesn’t mean that she is nice and caring. what if the pet is forced to stay there and look like that? Maybe there is a force controlling the pet, or what if it’s a stuffed animal (as in the story)? Bill should still be on his guard. Instead, he is off guard and unaware that anything may happen. Also, he accepts a lot of things, like the tea and the eggs (for breakfast, although he probably never gets it).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
