If the characters in "The Lottery" were able to overcome their darker impulses, the villagers would realize the barbarity of the tradition and work together to abolish it, with lines of dialogue such as "We can't continue this senseless violence, we must find a better way to come together as a community" and actions like tearing up the slips of paper instead of drawing them.
The villagers could have a conversation during the lottery, discussing the cruelty of the tradition and the need for change. They could express their reasons for not wanting to participate in the violence and share their thoughts on finding a more humane way to come together as a community.
Additionally, they could collectively decide to tear up the slips of paper instead of drawing them, symbolizing their refusal to continue the barbaric tradition. This act of defiance could spark a movement among the villagers to abolish the lottery once and for all, leading to a more peaceful and harmonious community.
By overcoming their darker impulses and standing up against the violence of the lottery, the characters in "The Lottery" could create a better future for themselves and their village, free from the senseless brutality that has plagued them for generations.
