Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery.” Many of you may have already read this before so I will ask that you read again and this time look for nuances in the story. Here is the link to “The Lottery.” https://americanliterature.com/author/shirley-jackson/short-story/the-lottery.
This story was published in 1948. Are there any cultural or historical events that Jackson might be commenting on here? Is this JUST a story about this particular time and place, or is she trying to say something important about human nature?
