In "The Lottery", the fact that this is taking place in a rural farming village shows the viewer that the characters really did not have anyone to intervene or tell about the Horror that took place each year. Therefore, it was allowed to continue year after year without intervention.

The rural farming village setting in "The Lottery" establishes a tight-knit community that adheres to tradition and ritual. This environment shapes the conflict by highlighting the villagers' reluctance to challenge the annual lottery, even when its brutality is revealed. The villagers' collective obedience to tradition underscores the power dynamics and pressures that give rise to the disturbing outcome of the lottery.

the setting makes it seem nice and peaceful because it is a small town, and you don't expect something like "The Lottery" to take place there.

What is the main conflict in the lottery?

The main conflict in Shirley Jackson's most famous short story, "The Lottery", is Man vs. Society. She is criticizing tradition and how people are stuck in their ways even if it isn't right. (Questions of morals usually equal man vs. society) also the little village was discussing how other towns have stopped doing the lottery. Though it may seem like it is Society vs Society, that is not a type of conflict. You have to think of village as a whole or as one thing. then you will see that society is against them because society is questioning their morals.
