The Lottery Shirley Jackson Analysis

157 Words1 Pages
The story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson talks about a village that gets together every year for this thing called the lottery. There are three men that are in charge of the town and the lottery Mr. Summers, Mr. Graves, and Mr. Martin. These three men control how everything works. In the article by Peter Kosenko he talks about the power and the social order that the three men have. In the article by Fritz Oehlschlaeger he talks about how the men are in control of everything the woman do. Lastly, in the article by Helen Nebeker she talks about the social body and capitalism so that the men can remain in power. I agree with the these articles because men are in control this whole story.They have control over the money and the woman in the village.
