It begins by informing the reader that the day is lovely and sunny. Before the day is over, someone will be stoned to death even if everything seems normal and perfect. The lottery, square dances, the teen club, and the Halloween event were all organized by Mr. Summers.

The lottery is a metaphor for everything that is unquestioningly accepted and followed from one generation to the next, no matter how absurd, strange, or cruel it may be. Since as long as anyone can remember, the community has held a lottery. Jackson introduces irony early in the narrative. She gives the impression that the lottery is an enjoyable celebration for the townspeople.
