. Now to bring a lamb to slaughter means to kill it. The irony of the title is that it's the husband, the unsuspecting, trusting character he is, being brought the slaughter and the lamb is the weapon in the whole affair.

The title of ’Lamb to the slaughter‘ by Roald Dahl means that Maloney slaughtered her husband Patrick with a Lamb chop that she was going to use to serve him dinner until he expressed to her that he didn’t want to be with her anymore making her angry and not letting him leave.The solution to her for him to not leave was to kill him. Maybe it was just out of anger or impluse.
