AP LIT The Lottery

The Lottery 1. What is the setting of the story? What important details are not specified? The setting of the story is a location that is in a relatively isolated village, in which we have no knowledge of. The most important details that are omitted from the setting are the village's location, its name, and its historical background. 2. How would you characterize the tone of the story? The story beings very conventionally, the people live in a pastoral village and are quite united. It employs a sense of realism. Further on the tone shifts from realistic to symbolic with the coming of the ritual. Quickly the carefree and harmless attitudes shift into that of savagery and destruction, involving a traditional with a murderous nature, something we would not expect to occur.
