[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses Shirley Jackson’s (1916-1965) 1948 short story “The Lottery.” Jackson’s story is of the annual lottery in a village of 300 people that takes place on June 27th. All villagers participate and the oldest man in the village has personally been a part of 77 separate lotteries. While there is not a particularly festive sense about the event, it is still clear in the story that it is most certainly an event that nobody ever misses.

Shirley Jackson/The Lottery
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that examines Jackson's short story, The Lottery. In this story, Jackson addresses the nature of evil. Jackson demonstrates that evil doesn't necessarily announce itself. Evil, inhumanity, and injustice can be so commonplace in human society that they disappear into the framework of our daily lives. In other words, evil can be obvious, but it can also be something that has been carried on for generations and, therefore, is continued simply because "that's the way it's always been done." In Jackson's short story, the reader encounters just such an "evil" in the village "lottery." No additional sources cited.
