The Lottery In The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, how were the stones used as a form of symbolism? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 10:23 Last updated by anonymous on 09 Sep 18:33
The stones are representative of ritual 'stoning' observed by many of the world's religions in anceint times (and some still observe it). It is also some of the earlist tools known to mankind, linking the story back to a primitive way of thinking.
