• Answer:-

    "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is a short story that centers around a small town's annual ritual, where one person is chosen by random draw to be stoned to death by the community. The ritual is carried out with a sense of normalcy and tradition, despite its brutality. The black box, the slips of paper, and the villagers' casual attitudes all contribute to the disturbing contrast between the mundane and the horrific. Jackson uses this ritual to critique the dangers of blindly following tradition without questioning its morality or relevance, revealing the dark side of human nature.
