AB The 19th century saw the emergence and development of the so-called Female Gothic genre within the Gothic mode as its conventions and tropes gave platform for female-oriented texts. Women started to fictionalize their unique and usually negative experience of living in a patriarchal world, and thus, to criticise the prescribed gender roles. However, in the mid-20th century the American writer, wife and mother of four Shirley Jackson presented her story “The Lottery”. Its content and message caused a controversial reaction as it seems to be non/antifeminist for perpetuating and justifying female oppression. However, the close reading of the story allows to realign it and place it in contact with its precursors in the 19th century.
