The idea for ""The Lottery"" came to Jackson as she was ​

English

Mars2501 [29]3 years ago
3 0

Shirley Jackson told: "the idea for "The Lottery" had come to me while I was pushing my daughter up the hill in her stroller—it was, as I say, a warm morning, and the hill was steep, and besides my daughter, the stroller held the day’s groceries—and perhaps the effort of that last 50 yards up the hill put an edge to the story.”

Explanation:

"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson in which members of a small community join together every year to follow a tradition according to which, randomly, the destiny of one of them is decided. The raffler winner is stoned to the dead to ensure prosperity for the whole village. The title is a clear instance of irony.

Which character from Antigone by Sophocles is a stock character?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

  •   Creon: He is an archetypal villain because his announcement to bury Polyneices is the catalyst for the misfortune which composes the plot of the story. A stock character is an archetypal character whose purpose is to move the story along allowing the audience to quickly understand the character.
  • A tragic flaw: It´s a literary device that can be defined as a trait in a character, usually the hero, that leads him to downfall. This characteristic could be the lack of self-knowledge or judgment and, as the story here analyzed, the pride.
  • Ismene refuses to help her sister bury Polyneices: Ismene decides to go against the divine authority by not defending her family´s honor, but she obeys the human authorities because she´s more afraid of what they can do to her.

  I hope these answers help you.
