Remark
I see what you mean. It doesn't look like anything has happened in the quoted passage that would suggest he was dead. He is certainly disorientated. You have two choices.
Choice One
"I had not seen him approach, and the sudden appearance made me start." This happens to people all the time when they are concentrating and don't hear or see the things going on around them. But in this particular case, he was only putting a key in a door. That doesn't take much concentration, particularly if you have done this 1000 times before. If you allow me to speculate just a little bit, it sounds like an old fashioned boarding house. It would be hard to sneak up on someone.
Choice Two
Once inside the room, he runs straight to the back room and checks the door, but does not know if it is locked. Then comes back and asks for a favor. It's really odd. It's a hint.
Mrs. Hutchinson really wanted to stop being trapped in a world where she couldn't change anything, where the Lottery was something as natural as day or night, and she was already tired of being a woman who always struggled to fit into that society. She didn't want to follow the rules, but she was a rebellious person inside, and perhaps for her the only way to escape was to die. Although she seems abnegated and peaceful, she actually thinks that the Lottery is unfair and even its late the Lotttery's day. Tess Hutchinson wants to end all that, even dying. It is also logical to think that she succeeded.
The two themes are 1) The goals of an individual are meaningful and 2) One should be open to new experiences.
Everybody has his or her own personal goal. Every goal of an individual is meaningful regardless if the other finds said goal unimportant. Pursuing personal goals is very meaningful to the individual because it gives him or her the purpose and motivation to succeed in his or her desired goal.
One should be open to new experiences. This is part of our growth as a human person. If we are afraid to try new experiences and prefer to live within our comfort zones, we will become stagnant and our growth and development as an individual will be hindered. We will also become blind to new discoveries which may enrich our lives.
