6/29/2023 0 Comments Poison by roald dahl![]() ![]() I loved this ending so much more than the story, though I like being able to compare them both, because I think it makes the episode's twist stand out that much more. He reaches for a bottle and the snake coils around his wrist and bites him. He wants something strong to take the edge off his anxiety from the snake. ![]() After they leave, the roommate gets up and goes to the liquor cabinet. The man tries to calm him down and says he knows where his car is, and that he'll take him there. When the doctor sees his car is gone, stolen by the woman brought home, he gets angry. After the sheet is pulled back and there's no snake, the doctor asks the man if the roommate might have imagined it all. The bulk of the episode is the same as the story, with the added aspect of the woman hiding in the kitchen so the roommate and doctor don't see her and tarnish her reputation. I think she was added into the episode to make it more dramatic. I don't think he did, because later in the episode she steals the doctor's car, and I don't recall that from the story. In Poison, Roald Dahl, one of the worlds favourite authors, tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. ![]() The episode was similar to the story, though I don't remember if the man brought a woman home. ![]()
