The main characters of the short story "The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson are:
- Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves, who prepare the paper slips for all the families of the village.
- Bill Hutchinson, whose family has been chosen.
- Tessie Huchinson, Bill's wife, who is picked to be stoned to death.
The detail that best shows how the invitation to Rosings affects Mr. Collins's characterization is:
"Mr. Collins is surprised by the exclusive invitation."
- This is evident when he said, "I confess that I should not have been at all surprised by her ladyship's asking us on Sunday to drink tea and spend the evening at Rosings."
- This shows that he was surprised by the invitation, as he was not expecting it.
- The title of the book is Pride and Prejudice.
- Jane Austen wrote the book.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option C. "Mr. Collins is surprised by the exclusive invitation."
