Answer:

B) A reluctant participant in tradition.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is about a community's annual rite of holding a 'lottery' where one person is randomly selected as a sacrifice for the whole community. The victim is stoned to death for the well being of the whole community.

One of the major characters in the story is that of Tessie Hutchinson. She had been selected for that particular year's sacrifice. She had been different from the other villagers. On the day of the draw, she came to the venue, panting and out of breath. She had forgotten the day of the lottery, showing she had never really kept this time as something important. It is surprising to know this as the village's most important day is this "lottery day".

Then, when she got selected for the sacrificial victim, she exclaims that "it wasn't fair". This shows her reluctance to be a part of some unusual tradition. It also shows her reluctance participation in the whole scheme of things.

In her essay "What White Publishers Won’t Print," Zora Neale Hurston argues that publishers will not print stories about educate
Kay [80]
Yes, the lady in Cullen's poem is a deeply prejudiced and ignorant person, who doesn't want to really get to know black people as they are. Those prejudices seem to be so deeply engraved in collective memory that black people are associated with slavery, menial jobs, and intellectual inferiority. Hurston argues that media have the power to solve this problem. Hurston writes: "It is assumed that all non-Anglo-Saxons are uncomplicated stereotypes. Everybody knows all about them. They are lay figures mounted in the museum where all may take them in at a glance. They are made of bent wires without insides at all. So how could anybody write a book about the non-existent?"

Similarly, in Cullen's short and poignant poem, the lady believes that even in heaven black people will be assigned the same kind of duty that they have on Earth, in her opinion. It's as if they aren't capable of doing anything else, nor are they entitled to anything else above that.
