In what ways are the characters differentiated from one another? Looking back at the story, can you see why Tessie Hutchinson is singled out as the "winner"?

This question is about "The Lottery".

1. The characters are differentiated from each other by their role in the lottery or by their position in relation to the lottery.

2. Tessie is chosen as the "winner" because she behaves differently from the other people who make up that society. She is a free spirit and her behavior breaks the pattern defended in that region, causing her to disharmonize the population and therefore needs to be eliminated.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" tells the story of a small town of 300 inhabitants who periodically draws a lottery. Although this seems to be a good and exciting thing, the inhabitants of the city do not seem excited about the lottery and present themselves even fearful, which generates a strong suspense in the story and makes the reader start to think that, perhaps, the lottery, do not represent something good and do not promote a prize desired by people.

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.

this quote could be referring to the death penalty. it's questioning the morality of sentencing murderers to death as a punishment, because it seems hypocritical. this quote seems to be arguing for non-lethal punishment for killers.
