The lottery theme I think that the theme of the lottery is to treat others how you want to be treated. I think that this theme fits into all of this story. The whole story is about this theme. It is important to treat others how you want to be treated. If you don’t then it will come back and bite you in the butt. Just like it did in “The Lottery”.
