One example of irony is that Tess is chosen to be the one for the lottery yet in the beginning she is portrayed to be a carefree woman that cares for her family and a person the town likes. Also old Man Warner makes fun of towns that are wanting to get rid of The Lottery and he thinks that means they will go back to primitive times. Though it is the opposite because that town is moving forward by abandoning dated traditions to match moral standards.
Nick makes a good narrator
because he tends to be the unbiased party. He can be considered reliable
because many of the character choose to trust him. He also depicts a character
of a well-educated and honest narrator. He is an average person, which allow
him to make connections with the audience. Just like one of lines in the story
where he said, “You see I usually find myself among strangers because I drift
here and there trying to forget the sad thing that happened to me.”,
which is a familiar experience in true-life. On the other hand, he is an unreliable
narrator because of the fact that, even though he claims to be non-judgmental,
he lets his judgments of people be swayed by his own standards and expectations
and misstate his descriptions.
It was his fear of insecurity
