Jackson depicts the annual event as any other civic gathering. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. She portrays the gathering as an almost lighthearted event that may as well be some sort of festivity. Jackson explains, " The lottery was conducted - - as were the square dances, the teen club, and the Halloween program". In addition, the towns people except the event as a regular part of their lives, which they neither fair nor anticipate throughout the course of their year.
How does Jackson trivialize the grace practice of the community's traditional stoning, and what message might Jackson be trying to convey to the reader through the treatment of the characters behavior?
Her withholding information not only enhances the suspense of the story, but it also proves to be a means of shocking her readers. The more Jackson involves her readers in the story and they begin to realize the ludicrousness of the situation at hand, the more she wins them over with the quintessence of her message to demonstrate that individuals are only free as long as they exercise their own rights to act and think independently of societal demands.
How does Jackson's choice to withhold the ultimate purpose of this tradition until the end of the story prove to be an effective way to communicate with her readers?
