aroused much controversy and criticism in
1948, following its debut publication, in theNew Yorker.

suggest an underlying evil, hypocrisy,and weakness of human kind.

Her use of friendly language among the villagers and the
presentation of the lottery as an event similar to the
square dances and Halloween programs illustrates the
lottery as a welcomed, festive event.
The surrealism of this idea is most evident
through Jacksons tone.

OPINION
At the first time we read the
story, we thinks that The Lottery
winner is a lucky person. But, at
the end of the story, we foundthat The Lottery is a unlucky
person who (stoned) was a
scapegoat of the tradition.
Scapegoat
The winner of The Lottery is
sacrifice to bear the sins of the
villagers. Mrs. Hutchinson was
violently stoned by her family
and friends because the villagers
believe that she as the winner of
The Lottery can bear their sins.
IronyWe can see that the irony in this story is one of the thing that attract the
readers. At first we predict everything going to be alright but it actually vice
versa. For example, the presentation of the lottery as an event similar to
the square dances and Halloween programmed illustrated. Actually at last
The Lottery is the person who being stones by family and friends.
