Character of "Lottery":
The characters are Tessie Hutchinson, Mr. Summers, Old Man Warner, Mr. Graves, Clyde Dunbar, The Watson boy, and Baxter Martin. The Lottery is a short story book whose setting is a fictional town in America.
The town celebrates an annual religious festival called “the lottery” which sacrifices a human being by stoning to death to ensure the well-being of the community. The ceremony also aims to rid the community of anything bad and allow for good happenings.
Mr. Summers counts the lottery, Mr. Graves is the postmaster providing the stool for the black box, Bill Hutchison draws the first black dot while Tessie Hutchison becomes the sacrificial human stoned to death and who also draws the second black dot. The Watson boy draws for his mother, Old Man Warner as the oldest man in the village defends the tradition and Clyde Dunbar had his wife draw on his behalf since he was at home because to a broken leg.
