It is ironic because Wang knows about the arrival of gods, but he doesn’t offer the god a place to stay, instead, he pushes the responsibility to someone else. Wang helps the gods to find a good person who can provide shelter, but many refused, only Shen Te, the prostitute, agrees to keep the gods. Having gods to stay is an honor, but in Setzuan, it seems to be a disgrace; therefore, the three gods have a conclusion on the only good human being they found in Setzuan, which is Shen Te. The gods return with 1000 silver pieces, but tells Shen Te not to inform others because the gods think this action could be misinterpreted; it is irony that even gods worry about this kind of small matters. After a few days, Shen Te ironically uses the money to buy an unhealthy tobacco store, and immediately, a family of eight starts to take advantage of her wealth.
That is a problem considering Ji-li is descended from a landlord, something her classmates refuse to forget. Even though the protagonist had never met her grandfather, the landlord, and he had died when Ji-li's father was small, she was still discriminated against. For fear of being arrested or worse, the family was forced into getting rid of their wealthier, higher status items. Those include Ji-li's grandmother’s wedding presents, and a beaded wedding dress. Even though the Jiang’s were Muslims they were not discriminated against for it.

Ophelia’s didn’t have honor for herself because she didn’t do what she wanted she did what others said so in a way she didn’t really respect herself. Ophelia also let Hamlet treat her any way that he wanted to and she never bothered to tell him what she didn’t like. Ophelia was also having sexual intercourse with Hamlet before they were married, this was a big thing back then to wait till marriage, Ophelia didn’t have much honor in herself because she let herself be controlled by men.

Actually, he says, if she has to marry, Ophelia should marry a fool, as wise men know that women only make men into "monsters", even while knowing this Ophelia kept on loving Hamlet even though Hamlet would not respect her.
When some of the townsfolk speak of the possibly of stopping the lottery, Old Man Warner gets very angry and silences them. Since there is no “savior” of these people, the Pharisees such as Old Man Warner are able to silence those who question the tradition with no resistance. Anyone who has a basic knowledge of the Gospels would clearly be able to spot the similarities between them and “the Lottery.” Oehlschlaeger clearly saw this resemblance in the basic structure of “the Lottery”, but is quick to point out that the main difference between the Gospels and “the Lottery” is that Shirley Jackson failed to include a “savior” of the people.

I believe that the Gospel where Jesus prevents a woman from being stoned to death was the biggest inspiration to Shirley Jackson when writing her

Because of this incident he stopped talking to either of his parents and was withdrawn for the first time in his life. “Chris's smoldering anger, it turns out was fueled by a discovery he'd made two summers earlier, during his cross-country wanderings... Chris pieced together the facts of his father's previous marriage and subsequent divorce-facts to which he hadn't been privy.” (p. 121) This is not good mainly for Chris and his dad's relationship and also his mom and him.

Many people in the court was surprised that Henry had sustained his relationship with Anne for so long as he was well known for keeping short relations with his female companions. This suggests that his feeling for her were of true love. Others however say that there was no male heir in succession. Henry had few options he could let Mary take the throne which could lead to a civil war as it had done with the last queen to inherited the throne, he could have married Mary off and hoped she produced a heir before his death, or his illegitimate son ‘Duke of Richmond’ could take the throne, however this would be have been unpopular with nobility and could result in someone else with illegitimate claim to the throne. England was an unstable country in this period in history and a civil war would have left it valuable to attacks and invasions.
