As Tessie hurriedly arrives late to the gathering, the community jokes of her tardiness with playful banter such as the exchange between Mr. Summers and Tessie over dirty dishes (675). All of which leads the reader to believe the town to be just an ordinary village gathering. Amy Griffin supports this use of setting to mislead the reader in her argument that summer is “a time usually associated with cheerfulness” and that “the picnic like atmosphere betrays the serious consequence of the lottery” (45).
