The Lottery ought to be renamed “The Slaughtery”. It was very creepy. A major archetype I saw by looking over the story as  a whole was an archetype of savagery and mob mentality. This whole group of people, when they are gathered together, go crazy and stone somebody as a lottery. What the heck? There really is no reading into this story. Its just wierd. The author has serious issues and probably should be denied her right to bear arms. People should definitley keep their distance from her. Another archetype could be one about the leader. In this case, Mr. Summers is in charge of the whole procession, and he asserts himself as the leader. ”Mr. Summers was very good at all this; in his clean white shirt and blue jeans, with one hand resting carelessly on the black box, he seemed very proper and important as he talked”.
