In The Lottery, Mrs. Hutchinson has lost and is about to be stoned to death. Mrs. Delacroix, who up until this point some may see as a friend of Mrs. Hutchinson, “…selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. “Come on,” she said, “Hurry up.”” (The Human Experience, pp 356 line 74) This betrayal, in light of the illogical nature of the lottery, is heinous and barbaric. In The Yellow Wallpaper, when the main characters mental faculties diminish and she views herself to be the identity trapped in the wall, she exclaims “I’ve got out at last” (The Human Experience, pp740 line 261). Both of these situations show that when logic fails, things that may be frightening
