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.

In 'Essay on the Lottery' short story, the setting plays a crucial role. It is set in a small village which gives an impression of a close - knit community. However, this community is involved in a lottery that is quite different from what we think of as a lottery. The characters seem ordinary at first, but as the story progresses, we see their acceptance of the cruel lottery as a part of their long - held tradition. This makes us question the power of tradition over morality. The author uses simple language to convey a very complex and dark message about human behavior.
