The Lottery

[pegkerr]

This essay here caught my eye, considering Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" as a capitalist critique. I find it kinda convincing, myself.

Discuss.

Do you remember the first time you read "The Lottery"? Did it have much of an impact on you?

I'd never read it before. It seems more an indictment of tradition and mob mentality then of capitalism, or individuality. It was quite disturbing.
