<span>This collection of short stories, most of which take place in ordinary American settings, aptly demonstrates Jackson's penchant for suburban horror. As exemplified most clearly by "The Lottery," Jackson's vision of horror is not limited to haunted houses or exotic locations. On the contrary, horror is engendered in the mind, in the banal brutality of everyday individuals, who may be mothers, fathers, wives, and husbands. Unhappiness, sheer dissatisfaction with one's life, can lead to the blurring of reality and fantasy, and even madness. And in this madness, horror can come alive in the most mundane of settings and situations.</span>

steposvetlana [31]
C. 

Right away in the chapter "My First Supper", Bly explains how she and the patients are ordered around, and talked to in a cruel manner. They are served terrible food, and are stripped, and forced to take freezing cold baths. The environment as a whole is abusive and unlivable, and Bly shows that is clear to tell after the events of just one day.
