What's Jackson really trying to say with this story?Exactly what is the author trying to say in her work?

If you read the comments about Jackson's story, you will notice that the response to her work is diverse: some are negative and some are positive.

Kline Brooks and Robert Penn Warren also pointed out that in "Understanding Novels", Jackson wants to have no significant meaning to her allegory, but when he wrote that it left it to us I wrote about the structure of the story. He expressed anxiety.

Critics speculate that this story is a "modern allegory". Some people believe that "individuals have the potential to be cruel" when they succumb to current tyranny.

One theme suggests that violence can occur anywhere in the general public. The most terrible thing about this story is that this "ceremony" is generally accepted, people do not wait and do nothing anything. 'If it does not affect me, I will not be harmed. Do whatever you do. "

Until she died, Jackson received a letter to ask about the meaning of the story. This is a literary trademark, and Jackson used a unified tone throughout the story, resulting in an unexpected ending.

All the studies I discovered show that as a true artist Jackson wants the reader to remove his impressions from the story and tell them individually to each reader. One of the themes - Understand what is important to the individual, make decisions based on who we are and what we bring to the story (or the immediate situation)

I agree with Jackson 's booboosmoosh just like most authors wish to "get it by yourself" but she agrees with Jackson' s booboosmoosh but she wants you to be able to draw thoughts about life from the story I hope - some of the theme of this work. To discover the theme, think of some other literary elements of the story.

1. The symbolic meaning of the stone - stones of all sizes meet the ability of each member of the community to participate in the ceremony - even the youngest of Tess

Ironically, we usually associate a lottery with a lucky winner. The winner is here but the town is very happy to be able to do the job: "Lottery in June, corn will soon become heavy"

Start thinking about brainstorming meanings: hypocrisy, mob robber, tradition or ceremony, individuals and groups. After considering literary elements and themes, you can get a very clear picture of what Jackson really wants to say and what she wants to say.

I think Jackson really hopes to use this story and say that it is a major damage to the system and the present situation (as the previous poster said). In the story, she said how human beings can stagnate, can not shake off traditions, beliefs, trends and other actions, thereby delaying our progress and sometimes we completely You can make it conflict with reality.

When groups of isolated people stagnate permanent decisions that never change, their impact is unthinkable. They become their own shadows and directly compromise the quality of their lives.

Therefore, the way Jackson shows this behavior is actually within range. Unfortunately, as a result, that can not happen.

In another article in this article, "How to write" Jackson said about her amazing trends as follows. "What I'd like to say is a slight increase in fantasy or unrealistic or imaginative elements, what has happened is very interesting." But among all these stories, magic appears Regardless of whether supernatural thing lurking in each page, ingeniously. Most importantly, not only a series of types, but also various styles included in "Please teach" to provide readers with exciting and unprecedented peeping at one of the great writers of American literature is. Interest and wisdom series also remind us of Jackson's influence and heritage scope.

Over the years, many critics have written articles about many of Shirley Jackson's works. Many critics have more to say about Jackson's most famous short story "Lottery". Her views and views on people and society should be alarmed, and in the case of "lotteries" they are shocking. "These themes are not new ones themselves: evil seemingly hidden as good; prejudice and hypocrisy; loneliness and frustration; thinking towards psychological research slipped connection with reality" (Friedman, 44) "Lottery will do its work without saying that human beings need to transfer the knowledge of death to the victims.This uneasy consciousness will be awakened by readers under the influence of the story and horror's Discovering the grotesque existence of the world, but the ordinary world.
