Tessie Hutchinson was not murdered in a typical sense; rather, she was stoned to death by the townspeople in Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery." This ritualistic execution occurs as part of an annual lottery in which one person is chosen to be sacrificed to ensure a good harvest. Despite her protests and attempts to defend herself, the community, following tradition, turns against her in a brutal and collective act of violence. Tessie's death serves as a chilling commentary on conformity and the dangers of blindly following tradition.
Tessie Hutchinson is a central character in Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery." She is depicted as a seemingly ordinary woman who initially participates in the annual lottery with her family. As the story unfolds, Tessie becomes the focus of the lottery's grim outcome, which reveals the dark and brutal nature of tradition. Her protest against the lottery’s unfairness highlights themes of conformity and the human capacity for violence.
Tessie Hutchinson is the one who gets sacrificed. This name is used differently from the others in the story. "Hutchinson" is a historical name of one of America's Christian leaders; Anne Hutchinson. In 1636 Anne Hutchinson was charged with heresy and banished from Massachusetts Colony. Several years later she moved to New York where Indians massacred her. By borrowing the surname Shirley Jackson compares her character's fate with the fate of the historical Anne Hutchinson. They both fought religious rules with little hope that someone would speak in their defense. In stead they were both "tried," and ended up being slaughtered. Like the other names in the story, the first name holds a surprise. The name Tessie foretells her death. She is the one that gets Reapedat the harvest ceremony.
it was named after Anne Hutchinson because she was murdered around where the school was built
Tessie Hutchinson is singled out as the "winner" in Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" because she draws the marked slip of paper in the village's annual lottery, which ultimately determines who will be sacrificed. Initially, Tessie arrives late and jokingly protests the lottery's fairness, but her fate changes dramatically when her family draws the marked slip. Her selection highlights the story's themes of conformity, tradition, and the arbitrary nature of violence in society. Tessie's fate serves as a chilling reminder of how societal norms can dehumanize individuals.
In Tessie Hutchinson's situation during the lottery, I would have likely felt a mix of disbelief and desperation upon realizing the grim outcome. I might have tried to argue against the unfairness of the lottery, appealing to the community's sense of morality and tradition. Ultimately, I would hope to rally others to question the ritual and seek a more humane alternative, rather than accepting the fate dictated by tradition.

In Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," Bill Hutchinson initially reacts with a mix of surprise and unease when he wins the lottery, as the lottery is a traditional ritual that leads to a shocking outcome. Tessie Hutchinson, his wife, reacts with distress and protests that the draw is unfair, claiming that her husband did not have enough time to prepare for the lottery. Her accusation may not be entirely fair, as the lottery's outcome is determined by chance rather than the preparation of the individuals involved, but it highlights her desperation and the brutal nature of the ritual. Tessie's reaction underscores the theme of conformity and the dark side of tradition in the story.

It depands on what you know and how stupidity you were if you don't know how to answer this question. Do it yourself you moron.Innocent children were gathering stones. The villagers gather in the square to begin. Parents called their children who earlier on were collecting the stones .Tessie Hutchinson was late. They begin by checking whether or not all families were there. Then they called up the head/father of each family to draw the lots. Mr Hutchinson got the black dot and therefore his family had to draw lots again. Tessie got the black dot on the paper this time and was to be stoned to death as the tradition had to go on. The stones that children collected earlier was passed out to everyone there. They threw stones at her although she yelled "It isn't fair".You suck at spelling, idiot.
Tessie Hutchinson is the dissenter in "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. She protests when her family is chosen in the annual lottery drawing and argues against the tradition before ultimately becoming the victim of the ritual.
