“It isn’t fair, it isn’t fair!” (Page 4) These are the final words that Mrs. Hutchinson said in Shirley Jacksons story “The Lottery.” Mrs. Hutchinson through the course of the story is definitely one the interesting characters and shows emotion in parts of the story as well.
Mrs. Hutchinson during the story really throws her emotions around just like the rest of the crowd.

That’s why I believe that Old Man Warner is the interesting character in the story.
Finally if I were to say what type of Romantic writing this is I would have to put it in the category Brooding Romantic. The reason why I chose that is because the kill some for a good season of crop, but they don’t just shoot them or hang them they decide to stone the person to death. Not only is this bad but when the time comes to stone Mrs....
