Aleksandr [31]

Chaucer utilizes parody in his portrayal of the Pardoner to censure the Church. The Pardoner's sermon against avarice cleverly diverges from his overstated covetousness. Chaucer makes such an unnecessarily ravenous character to attract consideration regarding genuine debasement in the Church and to realize change.

Answer:

Answer of Question 1:

D. It acts as the falling action of the story by showing what happens to the person who wins the lottery.

Answer of Question 2:

C. Tessie’s obviously negative view of the lottery after she wins she conflicts with the readers’ previous view of the lottery as rather mundane to create suspense about why Tessie gets so upset.

Explanation:

Answer 1:

In “The Lottery” (1949) by Shirley Jackson, when Tessie Hutchinson comes in the center of a cleared space, the conflict is about to resolve. So it is falling action of the story.

Falling Action is defined as the part of a story right after the climax and before the very end. It resolves all the conflicts of the story and wraps up the narrative.

Falling action should not be confused with resolution or denouement of a story which is the end of the story. During falling action the conflict is being resolved, while at resolution the conflict has been resolved.

Answer 2:

The title of the story, the mention of square between bank and post office, the excitement among children, women and men of the village – all make readers view lottery as a sort of cash prize. The reader first has a slight conflict by reading about stones in the start of the story. But he/she (the reader) ignores it to give it any importance. The real conflict arises when Tessie protests at the result of the lottery when she wins it (or in fact loses it).
