24Summary

Miss Strangeworth is the story's main character. In her seventies, she has spent her entire life

in the town where she was born, believing her family is more responsible than any other for

fostering the community to its current level of success. She takes pride in the part her

grandfather played in the town's growth when he started a lumber mill. She also feels her

family has not gotten enough credit: no statue, for example, has been erected in her family's

honor. With this is mind, Miss Strangeworth has a strong sense of proprietary pride as she

walks along and visits with her neighbors.

25Miss Strangeworth takes particular care of her appearance. She never goes out in public

without having attended to every detail of her hair and clothing. It is important that she appears

proper in every way. She is extremely conscious of status. Even though she attended school

with Tom Lewis, the town's storekeeper, after graduation Miss Strangeworth has referred to him

only by his surname. Calling him "Tommy" is no longer appropriate, nor is their high school

friendship.

26As the story begins, Miss Strangeworth visits Lewis's grocery store to purchase a few items.

She expects Mr. Lewis to know what she wants because it is Tuesday, and she always buys

the same thing on Tuesdays. While there, she notices signs of worry on the faces of those she

meets. She assesses the cause of each person's stress, making the reader aware that she

knows a great deal about the personal lives of those in her community.

27As Miss Strangeworth heads home, she meets Mrs. Crane, a new mother with her baby. Mrs.

Crane is nervous about her infant, sharing worries with Miss Strangeworth that perhaps the

baby is not developing quickly enough. Miss Strangeworth assures the mother that all is well,

hinting that perhaps Mrs. Crane is expecting too much too soon from the little one.

28They part ways and Miss Strangeworth returns home, passing her garden of lovely roses. Their

fragrance fills the air, and she is very proud of them. The old woman goes inside and carries

out her routine of putting away her purchases, pridefully noticing the lovely items in her home

(including roses from her garden, placed in vases in several rooms).

29Moving through the house, Miss Strangeworth goes to her desk and unlocks it. Ignoring the

beautiful stationery with her name at the top, she selects colored paper from a cheap supply

purchased at the newspaper shop. The colored sheets are used throughout the town for a

variety of purposes, and the envelopes are often used to hold household odds and ends or

even cookies for a lunchbox.30Miss Strangeworth ignores the beautiful gold pen on the desk and picks up a stubby, dull

pencil. In childish print, on a pink sheet, she writes a note about people who should not have

children, especially when the child they have is an idiot. Adela Strangeworth writes carefully so

as to avoid mistakes. If and when this ever does occur, she takes the sheet to the kitchen and

immediately burns it at the stove.

31When she is finished, pleased with the results of her first note, she chooses a green page. This

one is for Mrs. Harper and suggests that all her friends are laughing behind her back because


7/7

her husband is having an affair and "the wife is always the last to know." She addresses a

green envelope, and then a pink one for her first letter to the Cranes.

32As the self-appointed guardian of her town, Miss Strangeworth feels it imperative to tell these

"truths" to the members of her community. Of course, she "never concerned herself with facts."

If it is possible that something is taking place that someone should be aware of, it is her duty to

bring it to his or her attention.

33She has already sent a note to Mr. Lewis that his grandson has...34Shirley Jackson's short story "The Possibility of Evil" was published in theSaturday Evening

Poston December 18, 1965. Although it did not gain the popularity or provoke the outrage

that"The Lottery"did in 1948, "The Possibility of Evil" contains many of the elements seen

throughout Jackson's writing: a Gothic house, intimations of depravity, and an unexpected turn

in events or judgment.

35On the surface, "The Possibility of Evil" is a simple story. Readers follow Miss Stangeworth, the

story's main character, around town as she completes her daily routine. She is the matriarch of

the town, and she acts the part. She knows everything about her town, and she proudly admits

that she has never lived anywhere else during her seventy-odd years. As she stops to chat withother townspeople, she appears to be polite and caring.

36Miss Stangeworth, however, is concerned about everyone she meets because something

seems "wrong" with them. She feels it is her civic duty to stop evil from spreading in her town,

so every day she mails anonymous letters to her neighbors to keep them on the alert.

Unfortunately, the letters she sends are the very cause of the evil that she has been trying to

battle: her malicious words provoke the behaviour she is guarding against. Miss Strangeworth

never realizes her darkly ironic position, and when she is eventually discovered to be the

source of the letters, she cannot understand why someone would do something as evil as

destroying her prize roses.37Miss Strangeworth lives up indeed to her unusual name as the narrative unfolds, but the town

itself remains unnamed. Because she wants to lend her stories a universal quality, Jackson

rarely mentions where the action takes place in her work. The possibility of evil, Jackson

implies, could happen anywhere.
