Explain the main conflict between a character and
society in "The Lottery,

Someone has already answered this

Explanation:

They just actually doing the wrong way of controlling their population by launching a lottery and killing the one who gotten the black mark/circle. The central conflict in “The Lottery” is the external conflict of person vs. society, because it is the traditions of the village that cause Tessie Hutchinson to be killed, and one other person a year before her. A person vs. society conflict exists when the rules or governance of the society come into conflict with the character.  The character is threatened or impaired in some way by society.  In this story, all characters are at conflict with society because the victim is chosen by lottery, but the Hutchinsons are the main conflict.

“The Lottery” is the story of a village that sacrifices one of its people each year.  The victim is chosen by lottery.  There is no reason for this murder, except that things are done as they always have been.

No one knows the original purpose of the lottery.  They will not even repair the three-legged stool so it can stand by itself, or replace the dilapidated black box, because “no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box.”  They seem to see the lottery as nothing more than an interruption in their daily routine.

"Well, now." Mr. Summers said soberly, "guess we better get started, get this over with, so's we can go back to work.

People in the village act the way they do because that is the way it’s always been.  The lottery has been used since the first villagers settled, so they continue it.  No one questions anything.  Parts of the ritual only change when no one can remember them.

This story represents the costs of going along with everyone else.  If people don’t question things because no one else questions them, then grave injustices will continue.  The mob mentality allows individuals to be anonymous and not held accountable for their choices.  Like peer pressure, people just go along with whatever is done by the next person.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
