This question is about "The Lottery".
Answer:
1. The characters are differentiated from each other by their role in the lottery or by their position in relation to the lottery.
2. Tessie is chosen as the "winner" because she behaves differently from the other people who make up that society. She is a free spirit and her behavior breaks the pattern defended in that region, causing her to disharmonize the population and therefore needs to be eliminated.
Explanation:
"The Lottery" tells the story of a small town of 300 inhabitants who periodically draws a lottery. Although this seems to be a good and exciting thing, the inhabitants of the city do not seem excited about the lottery and present themselves even fearful, which generates a strong suspense in the story and makes the reader start to think that, perhaps, the lottery, do not represent something good and do not promote a prize desired by people.
