By doing this he is not just letting him grow but also other people from the town. If he would have at least heard the reasons of why, maybe he will understand and just already make conclusions. To add, if people evaluate the reason they will promote change. While waiting for their turn a couple on the back have heard that other towns have quit the lottery and they were commenting to the others by saying, “Some places have already quit lottery” (Adams 4).

Shirley Jackson is able to convey deeper meaning through the illustration of a corrupt tradition. Understood through the feminist view, both Gayle Whittier and Fritz Oehlschlaeger emphasize misogyny and the unfair treatment of women within the short story “The Lottery.” The patriarchal society is pronounced in the very first few paragraphs of the story. Right away, it is shown that the young boys playing ignore the call of their mother, but return immediately and without question to the stern demand of their father.…
