본문내용

“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, is a satire on the world and horror story about a long-established custom. A custom is ‘a social convention carried on by tradition and enforced by social disapproval of any violation.’ Jackson has written a wide range of themes including psychological horrors, such as The Haunting of Hill House. ‘According to Jonathan Lethem, Jackson was “one of this century`s most luminous and strange American writers” whose forté was psychology and society, people in other words - people disturbed, dispossessed, misunderstanding or thwarting one another compulsively, people colluding absently in monstrous acts”.’ She loved to write fantasy fiction. The Lottery has a very negative and cruel message. She wrote The Lottery based on human nature and how every human would act at specific circumstances. No matter whom the people are in the culture or the era in which they live in, there have always been and always will be horrid customs that are accepted.
