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.
<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>
Answer:
people can lose the ability to think for themselves
Explanation:
Since the beginning of the story, Constantia and Josephine, two daughters of the late colonel, show the inability to decide and think in certain circumstances. They choose not to talk about potential problems and possible solutions, so they rather choose to fight and discuss. Even if they are the responsible ones for their family after their father died, they lost the ability to make decisions and thinking for themselves.
