The Lottery
After researching on archetypes on the internet for a decent amount of time, I derived that there are two main archetypes in the story. The first one would be the liar archetype although it is more misleading than a liar. The main liar in the story was Mr.Summers because of how he carefully picked his slip out of the box more than likely ensuring that he isn’t stoned to death. The major archetype in the story was about sacrificing and old traditions. The old tradition in the town was that they sacrifice or stone people to death, but in the town they don’t really understand why they do it, it just happens. But upon further inferences from the story the reader would interpret that the sacrificing would be for some sort of harvest or some higher being that they believe in.
