 Essay Grade: 86%The Significance of Names in "The Lottery"
916 words, approx. 3 pages
Names are significant in Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery," as they assist in developing the story's theme of ritual human sacrifice. The name of the story is ingeniously designed to mislead people, and the name of the woman being sacrificed, Tessie Hutchinson, can be related to the spiritual religious leader Anne Hutchinson, who was herself exiled. By comparing Tessie Hutchinson with Anne Hutchinson, we can see Jackson's dissatisfaction towards the practice of outdated traditions.
