'Symbolism In The Lottery'

Great post, after reading “The Lottery” another time I believed that the short has a lot of symbolism that criticize the Christianity and many other religious traditions, for instant the black box symbolizes the Bible, the three legged stool symbolized the trinity for Christians and other various religious traditions like the three Norse Fates and the stones relates to the text in the Bible about the woman who was caught in the act of adultery John 8:1-11. I may have read into the short more than I should.
