Answers
Answer:
which story?.....pls tell
The fact that the story reveals about human nature that in every human there is a beast and this beast comes out prominently when humans are in a mob.
EXPLANATION:
In Shirley Jackson’s controversial story, ‘The Lottery’, the author portrays the brutal side of human nature. She weaves the story round an ancient practice where annually the residents of an American village had to stone a person of the village to death for a good harvest. The person to be lynched was determined through a lottery.
The author exposes the beastly side of man. When among the mob even the most gentle and motherly woman takes up the heaviest stone to lynch the chosen villager even though she is her friend. Every human in the mob abandons reason and morality and gladly participates in the heinous act. The brutality and beastliness of human nature is thus exposed through the story.
