    Analytical Essay

    “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson

    Directions: In a five paragraph essay, please present an


    articulate and well-supported analysis of the short story “The
    Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. Your essay should be in direct
    response to the prompt chosen. You need only to answer one (1)
    of the prompts offered below.

    1. Write an essay that presents your opinion on why the


    ancestors of the villagers began the lottery.

    2. Write an essay that describes the tone (mood) of the story.


    Present examples from the story that support your thesis.

    3. Examine the characters in the story and their feelings


    about the lottery. Do you think everyone is enthusiastic
    about this sacrifice? Can it be argued that members of the
    village are reluctant to participate in the lottery? Can it be
    argued that villagers want the drawing to continue? Discuss
    how one might come to one of these conclusions using
    examples from the story.

    4. Duality of Human Nature. Examine the characters as they


    relate to this theme. Which characters show two sides of
    humanity? Which characters are seemingly good natured;
    however, they show a different side during the events of the
    lottery. Make sure you have three different characters or
    three different moments where a character(s) show two
    sides.
