What was the message behind the story, "The Lottery"by shirley jackson and how does it relate to our present time, if at all? Agree:​

Answer 1

The lottery represents any action, behavior, or idea that is passed down from one generation to the next that's accepted and followed unquestioningly, no matter how illogical, bizarre, or cruel. The lottery has been taking place in the village for as long as anyone can remember.
