The inciting force of "Lamb to the Slaughter" occurs when the husband tells his wife that he is leaving her, causing her to react impulsively and kill him with a frozen leg of lamb. This event sets off the chain of actions that drive the story forward.
I am pretty sure that the inciting force is when marry hits patrick with the frozen leg of the lamb. Because it is the reason for the main part of the story occuring (trying to get away with it.). The rising action is when she tries to get away with killing her husband. The climax is when she tricks the police into actually eating the leg of the lamb.

The title "Lamb to the Slaughter" refers to the idea that someone is unsuspectingly led to their demise, much like a lamb being led to slaughter. In the story, the main character uses a leg of lamb as a weapon to kill her husband after he tells her unexpected news, thus being metaphorically compared to a lamb led to slaughter.
