As mentioned in the previous answer, the black box symbolizes death. Blacks are related to the death and mourning of the Western world. Most villagers are afraid of black boxes. From now on you can make a death sentence judgment. After putting on the stools for the ceremonial draw we can see the fears and awe of the villagers. The text painfully suggests that the villagers have forgotten many rituals. They change it when needed: for example they replace the original sawdust in the box with a piece of paper. The box did not have a fixed house during the year, but it was kept with a variety of people including Mr. Summers, Mr. Graves and Mr. Martin on his miscellaneous shelves. This indicates that the entire community is competing with this tradition.

Introducing a black box is a turning point for your mood. The reader does not know yet, but the black box symbolizes the villagers' death. After introducing the black boxes, the villagers felt uneasy. This is clearly how villagers keep distance from the black box. The atmosphere became soft, and the children "gathered quietly." The black box is the key to change from a calm state to a quiet state and to an ominous state. Further predictions of Shirley Jackson made the reader think that the town was unique and strange. When Mr. Summers asked for help, everyone hesitated and showed their attitude toward the black box. The reader will notice that it is not good to draw a picture until the villagers start painting.
