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 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson is a very disturbing short story. One of the main themes is the blind following of tradition. The villagers seem to carry out the lottery without really thinking about its brutality. They are so used to it that they don't question it.

One key aspect to analyze in 'The Lottery' is the use of setting. The small, idyllic village at first seems like a normal, peaceful place. But as the story unfolds, this very setting becomes a place of horror. The annual lottery, which is deeply ingrained in the village's tradition, shows how blindly following traditions can lead to immoral actions. The characters, too, are important. They seem ordinary, like people we might know, yet they participate in this cruel lottery without much hesitation, which reflects on human nature's capacity for evil when following the herd.

The lottery itself can be seen as a symbol. It stands for the blind acceptance of authority and tradition in society. The villagers don't question the lottery's existence or its rules. They just follow it year after year, which symbolizes how people can be submissive to long - established but perhaps unjust systems.
