An Analysis Of The Novel The Lottery From Shirley Jackson
This research aims to analyze the intrinsic elements and moral messages found in the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson (1948). The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to examine the literary aspects of the work. The data were collected through library research and note-taking techniques by conducting intensive reading of the short story. The analysis focuses on four intrinsic elements, namely themes, characterization, setting, and moral messages. The findings reveal that the major themes presented in the story include blind obedience to tradition, violence hidden beneath normality, conformity, injustice, and the abuse of social power. The characterization shows that the characters represent different attitudes toward tradition, ranging from unquestioning acceptance to resistance. The setting of a peaceful village creates dramatic irony that strengthens the impact of the story's shocking ending. Furthermore, the moral messages emphasize the importance of critical thinking, humanity, justice, and courage in questioning harmful traditions. This study concludes that The Lottery remains relevant to contemporary society because it reflects the dangers of following customs without ethical consideration.
