Homework Help: Literature

Posted by Tim on Monday, June 22, 2009 at 6:11pm.

Can someone tell me if my statement below is correct? I have to write a paper on The Lottery comparing and constrasting the theme and style. I am not sure if my themes and styles are correct or if I have them mixed up.
I have trouble with picking out the themes and styles. I find them, just identify them incorrectly. Do I have this right? Gothicism, imagery, symbolism and irony are styles and scapegoating and victimization are the themes.

Gothicism, imagery, symbolism and irony show scapegoating and victimization of women in The Lottery.

I don't think "Gothicism" is exactly the word you want.

It's probably better to use the term "gothic literary style" -- http://www.answers.com/topic/gothic-8
