The courts had ruled that the goods could be rejected because they did not match their description.

Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” is a literary exploration of society’s obsession with tradition, even when it crosses the line of morality. Jackson’s difficult family life becomes evident through the subjects of her writing, as well as her aversion to traditional family dynamics. Jackson’s outlook on society was heavily influenced by her personal life experiences.
