Some facets associated with the point of view of this story include the dramatic irony illustrated in the villagers' conversation and the objective narrator recounting the events that led to the start of the lottery. First, dramatic irony arises when Mrs. Adams explains how other neighboring towns have stopped holding the lottery, to which Old Man Warner responds by stating that they are "a pack of young fools" (293). The villagers do not realize that other towns have abandoned the lottery to benefit from it while preserving peace and living conditions. Without the adaptation of villagers, like those in neighboring towns, they could end up destroying their infrastructure and killing their population, thus leading to their total disappearance. Furthermore, the objective narrative is also a key factor in understanding the city residents' attitude towards the lottery. For example, the narrator points out that “people had done it so many times that they only half-listened to the instructions” (292). It seems that the villagers are so accustomed to this annual tradition that they do not question why they continue the lottery. The villagers have become accustomed to this tradition which will lead them to self-destruct by killing one of their own every year, causing a decline in population and nullifying the town's ability to feed itself..
