After reading Shirley Jackson's story "The Lottery", a view on humanity was opened to me that I never gave too much thought to before. ... Jackson uses this story as a reflection of our human society. ... Jackson's story also emphasizes how we must face consequences in our society. ...In my opinion, this story is a way to demonstrate how everyone has a weakness inside them, but more significantly, an underlying evil. Even today, people follow what is done by others, and not what they truly believe in. In a way, depending on the ending, it is truly evil.
I find this story to be startling and eye-opening because it shows the reader (after having to do some thinking) that standing up for what you believe in is paramount and can mean the difference between good and evil.
I believe that "The Lottery" is a horror story. Shirley Jackson depicts a small town village that in a blink of an eye will turn on one of their own. This story starts out nice and serene. Jackson tells of a beautiful sunny, summer day. The children are off school for the summer, and everybody is gathering in the village square. Nothing really seems out of the ordinary there. However, Jackson adds little components to the story that start to give it a twist. The first thing that Jackson introduces is a rather large pile of stones that the children are collecting. This seems to be a little bit strange. Why is the whole village gathering in the square and these children are gathering rocks? This is the first moment that Jackson makes the reader start to wonder what direction the story is going. Next Jackson starts to explain the whole lottery process and the key characters who are involved. It seems that at first there is a calmness about the crowd. However, little by little Jackson reveals that the crowd is actually quite nervous. For example in paragraph nineteen the crowd goes completly silent before Mr. Summers reads off the first of the names to come pick out of the black box. Also in paragraph twenty-seven all the men are flipping their pieces of paper over and over again in nervous anticipation. Jackson also tells little pieces of the lottery's history. She explains how the lottery used to be a respected ritual. It used to be a long drawn out ceremony, and now it has been reduced to a mere two hour bother. It seems like year after year the village becomes more efficient in running the lottery, and with that efficiency the crowd becomes more desensitized to the fact that someone is going to die.
