Mary was calm and complacent during her marriage. She kept a neat house, and waited happily each day for her husband to come home from work. In this way she was much like a lamb.
When her husband calmly tells her it is over, an inner rage causes her to slaughter her husband. She feels little in the way of remorse, as can be seen by her quick planning to cover up her crime.
In some ways , it can be seen that her husband was the lamb. He believed Mary would complacently accept his decision to leave, without a fuss. He was not threatened in any way for her to react with violence. He was killed easily, like leading lambs to the slaughter.
