A tension-filled adaptation of the Shirley Jackson short fable in which Tessie Hutchinson becomes a ritual sacrifice for community farmers. Adherence to tradition, the role of the individual in society, and the bystander’s reaction to the unexpected suddenness of violence are among the issues raised. A Discussion of “The Lottery” (ten minutes) offers learned commentary on the story, noting its literary antecedents and its ability to mirror modern society.
