What is evil?
What does it mean to be evil? Why are some people evil? To be evil means you are being a mad person or plotting something, like taking over the world, or plotting to destroy the human race with robots. Some people are evil because of their childhood.
What a thought
In this story, the wife is having a weird thought of killing her husband. She thought she could dismiss this feeling, so she tried to a bunch of times but she ended up hitting her husband with an ashtray, but we don't know if she killed him or not which is a very surprising ending to a story because in real life wives wouldn't do that to their husbands.
The lottery
This story is about a day in the summer where the whole town gets together and holds their tradition of a lottery where you "win" something more than life....death. This is a form of human sacrifice, which is not what we do today.
The possibility of evil
Shirley Jackson's story plot was to show that Miss Strangeworth was a person who wants to make people angry and have a lot to talk about in town but for a while it was kind of fun for her. But in the end she got caught and they got her back by cutting her prized possessions, her roses. This could happen in real life because in real life people get people back by doing stuff to them.
