Fattorusso Melissa Professor Datema The Lottery by Shirley Jackson 2/4/08 In "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, a small village of 300 people gathers every year to participate in a lottery. This particular lottery does not have the prize one might desire. The man in charge of the lottery is Mr. Summers. Summers is the owner of the village's largest business. He controls all of the social activities in the village, which reflects his high social status. Also his name, the word summer, is a symbol of leisure as Jackson writes he had "more time and energy to devote to civic activities." Alongside Summers controlling the lottery are Mr. Graves (postmaster) and Mr. Martin (village grocer). Mr. Graves name can also reflect death, symbolizing his position in the lottery. I have not found a symbol in Martin's name yet. The lottery consists of 300 slips of paper that Mr. Summers cuts up and places in a box, the same box used for years with the ritual of the lottery. The box now beat up and fading, seems never to be replaced nor does discussion of replacing it ever happen. The lottery is an aged ritual by practiced the first people who settled in the village. It is designed to punish the least productive person in town. Following the drawing, the person who "wins" must have the slip with a black circle drawn on it by Mr. Summers, also symbolizing the black coal from his business corrupting the village. The winner is then stoned by their fellow villagers. The lottery is not continued every year because it is simply a tradition of the village; it is so Mr. Summers, Graves, and Martin can remain at the top wrung of the social and economic ladder. This is a pure representation of capitalism. The women are treated as inferiors because they do house work, and not anything of economical value. Even the freedom of summer is strange to the children who were at play in the beginning of the story because they are taught to have a strong work ethic. The increased shabbiness of the box represents how it is ruining the village socially , yet the routine never changes and those in power remain. The villagers are not even quite aware of why they do this ritual , they do not give it much thought.
