Answer:
This seems to reveal that the original purpose of the lottery was to offer a human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest.
Explanation:
"The Lottery" is a short story by author Shirley Jackson. Every June, in a rural village, someone is picked through a lottery. Instead of winning a prize, that person is stoned to death by the other villagers.
<u>Not much is said to reveal when this custom began or why. The hint of its original purpose is given by the character Old Man Warner, a proud survivor of 76 lotteries. Old Man Warner criticizes the towns and cities that have given up on the lottery. He'd rather keep his blind faith and tradition. He is the one who says, "Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.'" This line reveals the lottery probably started as a way to provide human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest. It was so long ago that the villagers have forgotten such a purpose, keeping the lottery going simply out of habit.</u>
I think your word list and definition options got a little mixed up in the wording of this question. So let's start by looking at the meanings of the word choices you have.
Allegory is a word used for stories, poems, or pictures that can have a hidden meaning. Characters and events may stand for political, religious, or (most often) moral ideas.
A soliloquy is talking to yourself. When using the word soliloquy in reference to plays, it is when a character is alone on stage delivers a monologue (a long speech).
In a drama, an aside are words spoken to an audience by an actor. What the actor says is short and directed at the audience. Their monologue is not heard by other characters in the play.
When there is an introduction to a written or performed work, we call this a prologue. They are often delivered to the audience by an actor at the beginning of a play or as a preface to a written work.
Catharsis is the release of emotions, especially through art forms (music, painting, drama).
To match the definitions you were given #1 is prologue, #2 is catharsis, #3 is soliloquy, #4 is aside and #5 is allegory.
