What TYPE OF IRONY is the title, "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl?
I'm not asking about the actual story because I understand the dramatic irony with the policemen being completely oblivious that they were indeed eating the murder weapon. I'm JUST talking about the TITLE. What is ironic about the TITLE and what type of irony is the title?
Why do Muslims only eat Halal meat and any other form of slaughtered meat is not permissible?
As a Muslim, we are ordered to slaughter the way we have been though1. During slaughter, we have to mention the name of God (Allah) else, it will not be Halal (Permissible for us to eat) .In Holy Quran, Allah (God) says to us:Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. (Quran 5;3)2. Islamic method of slaughtering animala. Animal should be slaughtered with sharp object (knife)The animal has to be slaughtered with a sharp object (knife) and in a fastway so that the pain of slaughter is minimized.b. Cut wind pipe, throat and vessels of neckZabiha is an Arabic word which means ‘slaughtered’. The ‘slaughtering’ isto be done by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neckcausing the animal’s death without cutting the spinal cord.c. Blood should be drainedThe blood has to be drained completely before the head is removed. Thepurpose is to drain out most of the blood which would serve as a goodculture medium for micro organisms. The spinal cord must not be cutbecause the nerve fibers to the heart could be damaged during the processcausing cardiac arrest, stagnating the blood in the blood vessels.3. Blood is a good medium for germs and bacteriaBlood is a good media of germs, bacteria, toxins, etc. Therefore the Muslim way of slaughtering is more hygienic as most of the blood containing germs, bacteria, toxins, etc. that are the cause of several diseases are eliminated.4. Meat remains fresh for a longer timeMeat slaughtered by Islamic way remains fresh for a longer time due to deficiency of blood in the meat as compared to other methods of slaughtering.5. Animal does not feel painThe swift cutting of vessels of the neck disconnects the flow of blood to the nerve of the brain responsible for pain. Thus the animal does not feel pain. While dying, the animal struggles, writhes, shakes and kicks, not due to pain, but due to the contraction and relaxation of the muscles deficient in blood and due to the flow of blood out of the body.Hope the answer is satisfying.Thanks
What is the meaning of the movie name “The Silence of the Lambs" and what is meaning of the photo of the girl’s face covered with a Butterfly in the movie poster?
SPOILERS AHEAD: The title, "Silence of the Lambs," refers to a conversation between Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Dr. Lecter has information about serial killer Buffalo Bill, but won't give Clarice any clues about his identity until she shares some of her childhood memories. Her superiors warned her about sharing personal information with Lecter, but eventually, she shares it anyway. She tells him about a traumatic moment from her youth: After her parent's died, she was sent to live with relatives in Montana. There was a lamb slaughterhouse nearby. She was horrified by the murder of the lambs, and even tried to save one. She felt helpless because she was unable to stop the slaughter. The moth on the cover/poster has two meanings. LITERAL: When performing an autopsy on one of Buffalo Bill's victims, the coroner finds an object lodged in the victim's mouth. He removes it. It's a brown pupa. He cuts it open, revealing a moth. We later discover the Buffalo Bill has a pupa breeding room at his home, where thousands of butterflies and moths flutter about. FIGURATIVE: Buffalo Bill has an obsession with moths because they represent what he wants for himself. Moths begin as caterpillars, but then enter a cocoon and emerge as fully-formed moth. He is a man who wants to become a woman, but was denied a sex-change operation. Now he murders women and collects their skin to create a "woman suit" - a cocoon for himself - which he can use to become a woman.
