In “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson,Often people and society are not concerned with injustice until they are the victim of injustice. Tessie doesn’t realize how unfair the lottery is until she is the one suffering.
Just as the small village blindly follows tradition, Tessie isn’t concerned with the annually violence. Tessie proclaims that she forgot what day it is due to cleaning. When she arrives Tessie seems excited and happy to see her friends, and to start the lottery. When Mr. Hutchinson is called to go draw, Tessie is very confident. When she discovers that he chose the piece of paper with the black dot, she shouts to Mr.Summers, “You didn't give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. I wasn't fair! ” (Jackson, 59).
