Some people would argue that she planned out the entire killing and had full intentions on murdering her husband. They say that the way that she covered up the death and began to laugh at the end can only mean she did it on purpose. On the other hand, Mary Maloney may have been mentally insane. She was obviously obsessive over her husband and also had a child on the way and may have laughed at the end due to her insanity. It is solely up to the reader to decide if she is guilty or not which makes it such a great story. This is exactly why Dahl leaves out the conversation with her husband so that the reader will wonder what her and Patrick Maloney discussed and if his death was just or not.The answer to this question is that you can never know if Mary is guilty or not. It is up to the reader to decide.
She was a very independent and successful woman who in no way depended on men, as she found most of her happiness in friendships rather than lasting romantic relationships. Also, the difference between her character Laura in Dick Van Dyke and Mary Richards in MTM shows a cultural shift in the independence of women.
