"The Lottery" Question 1

After reading "The Lottery", I thought the village square was perceive as court that condemns a person to death not because they did something wrong but for a sacrifice for their crops. The village square basically represents hell for the village people. Mrs. Hutchinson had an apron on because she was washing dishes but at the village square she was wiping her hands on the apron. This might mean she is cleansing herself before she gets stoned, although not knowing she was the one to get stoned. The slips of paper were related to a jury in court. The jury are the ones who decide what a person's sentence is, much like the slips of paper. If there wasn't a black spot on the paper, that person was free. If there was a black spot on the paper, that person was sentenced to death. I'm not quite sure what Old Man Warner represents but the book mentioned he was 77 years old and he has been apart of the lottery for 77 years therefore he represents the older generation of the lottery. He would always see the lottery as a tradition and he wouldn't give it up.
