Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

The 'Essay on the Lottery' short story has themes that are both thought - provoking and disturbing. Tradition is a major theme. It is shown as something that can override common sense and morality. The group mentality theme is also strong. The villagers act as a unit, and no one breaks away. This unity in the wrong action shows how powerful group influence can be. And the theme of the unexpected nature of evil within an ordinary community is also there. We expect the village to be a normal, peaceful place, but the lottery reveals the hidden, dark side of the villagers.

One of the main themes is tradition. The lottery in the story has been carried out for a long time, and the villagers blindly follow it without really questioning its morality or purpose. Another theme is violence. The stoning at the end shows the cruel and violent nature that can be hidden within a community under the guise of tradition.

One of the main themes is the danger of blindly following traditions. In the story, the lottery is a long - held tradition that the villagers participate in without really thinking about its brutality. Another theme could be the idea of scapegoating. The person who 'wins' the lottery is made to bear the brunt of the community's unexamined violence.

One theme could be tradition and its blind following. In the story, the lottery is a long - held tradition that the villagers follow without really questioning its morality or purpose. Another theme is the cruelty that can be hidden within a community. The lottery results in a brutal stoning, showing that seemingly normal communities can have a dark side. Also, the theme of scapegoating is present. The person chosen in the lottery becomes a sort of scapegoat for the community's problems or perhaps just a way to maintain a sense of order through fear.
